A charity based in Mid-Cornwall has gone entirely smoke-free.

The Merlin Neuro Therapy Centre, located at Bradbury House, Hewaswater, brought in the blanket smoking and vaping ban on Monday.

In a statement, the Merlin centre said: “As a therapy centre that provides services to improve quality of health, we have made the decision to become a smoke-free site, this includes the use of e-cigarettes.

“Please bear this in mind when visiting as you will need to smoke off premises from Monday, April 15. Thank you for your co-operation.”

The centre supports adults, young people and children living with long-term neurological conditions and/or neuro diversities.
