February 2026 Update

Due to exceptionally high demand, we have unfortunately had to temporarily close referrals to our services. This helps us ensure we can continue to provide the best support to young people across the county.

Please keep checking back on our website as we will reopen referrals as soon as we are able to!

In the meantime, support is still available. We run free drop-in Support Hubs across Cornwall, where young people can speak with trained professionals about their mental health and wellbeing. These sessions are open to anyone aged 11–25 (no referral needed) you can simply drop in whenever suits you!

Our Support Hubs run at the following times and locations:

  • Penzance – Mondays, 3:30–5:30pm @ Lescudjack Centre
  • St Austell – Mondays, 3:30-5:30pm @ The House
  • Redruth – Tuesdays, 3:30–5:30pm @ The Ladder
  • Truro – Wednesdays, 3:30–5:30pm @ Zebs
  • Liskeard – Wednesdays, 3:00–5:00pm @ Liskeard Library
  • St Austell – Thursdays, 3:30-5:30pm @ The House
  • Helston – Thursdays, 3:30–5:30pm @ Furry Youth Centre
  • Newquay – Thursdays, 3:00–5:00pm @ Newquay Youth Centre

We also have our People in Mind support groups:

  • Newquay – Tuesdays, 12:30-1:30pm @ Newquay Youth Centre
  • Newquay – Tuesdays, 2:00-3:00pm @ Newquay Youth Centre (Newquay Tretherras and Treviglas Sixth Form students only)
  • Truro – Thursdays, 2:30-4:30pm @ Zebs

We also recommend checking our What’s On Guide, which is updated monthly and includes information about our youth clubs, activities, events and everything else we have on across Cornwall.

For the latest updates, including when our referrals will be back open, please keep an eye on our website and follow us on social media @youngpeoplecornwall

Young People Cornwall follow Gillick competence and Fraser guidelines regarding consent and confidentiality. Therefore, if we think you are at risk to yourself or others, we will follow safeguarding procedures.

Please be aware that until the young person is contacted by the case worker that the risk associated with the young person sits with the referrer not Young People Cornwall. Young People Cornwall is not a crisis service. By submitting this form, you confirm that you are not in a crisis and can keep yourself safe.
