Letter to Mr and Mrs Arbon

Made: 1995

Record Number: HFC:2021:285

Dennis Arbon was an unwavering supporter and eventual trustee of Hall for Cornwall. His relationship with HfC began in the 1990s when he stepped in to make considerable financial donations to the theatre, its associated organisations and fundraising campaigns. He was then appointed to the venue's board in the late 1990’s and served for four years as Chair, helping in the process to secure the future of the theatre during a period of significant financial difficulty. Dennis was awarded an MBE for his outstanding services and philanthropic contributions to the arts and the community in Cornwall in 2013. This is the letter which was sent to Dennis and his wife after their charitable donation to the Hall for Cornwall appeal in March 1995.
