A charity devoted to improving thousands of lives across Cornwall, we do things differently. Our services celebrate and inspire young people, offering a place to belong and a sense of freedom. Because when young people feel supported, incredible change happens.

We love making spaces that allow young people to feel like themselves. Starting out in the seventies, we set up youth clubs and built services with lots of collaboration and hard work. Our size and successes continued to grow so much that the name Young People Cornwall, or YPC, was born.

From our main offices in St Austell, we run projects across the county on everything from education and training support to sports sessions, mental health help hubs and drop-in youth clubs. Young people are the experts of their own lives, so we do everything to support this. That’s why our projects are constantly changing to suit their needs and dreams.
