The Cornwall you don’t see. Young people facing homelessness in winter.
Cornwall is a beautiful holiday destination, known for its stunning coastline, picturesque villages and world-famous beaches. But there’s a side of Cornwall many people don’t see.
Rising rents, a shortage of affordable housing and the cost of living are leaving too many young people without a safe and secure home in the place they grew up.
Support our Winter Appeal, your gift can help keep a young person safe, warm and off the streets this winter.
