YMCA Cornwall Everyone should have a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become. YMCA Cornwall is an independent charity & part of the YMCA Federation.

We provide supported housing for young people aged 16–24 who are homeless or at risk.

Thanks to your support of our Your Help, Their Future campaign, we're getting much closer to finishing the final three flats for young people in need of safe accommodation.

The plasterboard is now up and ready for plastering. Next is the painting and second-fix works, followed by fixtures and fittings, furnishings and all those final touches that will turn these spaces into homes.

We're almost there! Every donation has helped us reach this stage, and we can't wait to welcome young people affected by homelessness into these new homes.

Thank you for your incredible support.

It was great to attend the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce Big Breakfast at Tregenna Castle and connect with so many businesses that are passionate about supporting charities and making a difference in our communities.

As we look ahead to our 150th anniversary next year, we're searching for new Charity of the Year partners to join us for this special journey.

If your business would like to support a local charity and help young people affected by homelessness , we'd love to hear from you.

We were delighted to welcome Louise from The Cornish Oven back to YMCA Cornwall this week to top up the Pasty Station. Thanks to them, our residents have a freezer full of pasties, ensuring they always have access to a hot meal when they need one.

The pasties have been going down a treat, especially at a time when rising living costs are putting extra pressure on household budgets. Having something warm, filling and available can make a real difference.

A huge thank you to The Cornish Oven for helping to keep our residents fed, supported and warm this winter. 💙🥟
