💙It’s Youth Work Week 2026!
This year’s theme is ‘Where Futures Begin’… celebrating the people, places and experiences that help young people grow, belong and thrive! National Youth Agency
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing real stories from anonymised young people about the difference our youth work here has made to their lives
Our first story comes from a young person who found friendship and a sense of belonging through our People in Mind (PiM) group (running in Newquay, Truro and soon Camborne!)
Before joining, they often felt isolated and found social situations overwhelming, making it difficult to connect with others
Through regularly attending PiM, they’ve developed new friendships, become more comfortable socialising and grown in confidence!
They’ve even gone on to get involved in other projects here that help to represent the views and experiences of other young people (Speak Up)! 🌟
