What is Penguin Soup?
Penguin Soup provides safe and inclusive spaces for members of the queer community and allies across the whole of Cornwall to come together. Our aim is to reduce isolation and disenfranchisement, increasing access to mental health
support and decreasing risks of poor mental health within the community.
Why Penguin Soup?
Out of all the species of birds, Penguins are one of the most sociable. All species of Penguins are colonial, which means they live and thrive in groups, but they can choose to be more solitary, especially when hunting for food. As for the soup part, we took inspiration from an old European folk tale called ‘Stone Soup’, in which hungry strangers convince a town of people to share a small amount of food from their homes to make a meal that everyone enjoys; demonstrating the value of sharing to create an overall, more caring and mindful community (or what we call like to call ‘good soup’).
