Our Impact

Incredible Change In Cornwall

WHAT DOES OUR WORK DO?

We’re making an incredible impact on young people, families and communities across Cornwall every day. Whether it’s experiencing something new, meeting friends who understand, or being part of a community – our impact ripples out not just to our young people, but everyone involved in their lives.

OUR IMPACT ON YOUNG PEOPLE

We help young people tackle life’s challenges during a crucial part of their development. From getting one person back on track at school to welcoming hundreds into youth centres week after week – we offer those aged 8-25 the guiding support they need.

“On multiple occasions, attending YPC youth groups has literally saved my life. If it weren’t for the people I met through this youth group, I wouldn’t be here.”

– Young Person

OUR IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY

It’s proven that in areas where there’s high quality youth provision, there’s lower levels of ASB and crime. Our youth services build good relationships between young people and community members, creating positive attitudes and starting conversations.

Positively impacting the community.

“When youth support disappears, a spike in youth crime appears. Joint working with YPC has a massive positive impact on residents and communities. My colleagues comment on this too.”

– Cornwall & Devon Police

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

COMMITTED TO LONG TERM PROVISION

As Cornwall’s oldest youth service provider, we see the long term differences we make to people’s lives. We love it when a young person gets back in touch, bursting with news about the job they’ve just got or the adventures they’ve had.

BUT NOTHING CHANGES OVERNIGHT

Real impact takes time. It takes turning up, week in, week out. It takes understanding what young people need and walking with them through the good and the bad. It means knowing what support is needed. Showing up since 1974, we’re committed to making real change.

We think about the impact we make through a journey of change:
