Young People Cornwall

Young People Cornwall Making waves across Cornwall with essential youth services since 1974🌊

"Our vision is to improve the quality of life for young people in Cornwall"

Young People Cornwall is a local charity with a long track record of success in supporting work with 8 – 25 year olds through specialist projects and programmes addressing issues that marginalise or place young people at risk, including mental health, homelessness, crime, racism, sexuality, drug & alcohol use, abuse, rur

al isolation and poverty. We use a range of approaches within our projects including information, advice and guidance, outdoor activities, music, arts, training, environmental and community work in order to facilitate the personal and social development of young people. Our projects have received wide-ranging approval and have won several national awards for their innovative nature and effectiveness.
