The Cornwall you don’t see

Every young person deserves a safe place to call home. But in Cornwall, too many young people are facing homelessness or the frightening possibility of losing the place they live.

Behind the Cornwall many of us know and adore, with its beautiful beaches, stunning coastline and holiday memories, there’s another reality. Rising rents, a shortage of affordable housing, and the cost of living are making it increasingly difficult for some young people to find a safe, secure home in the place they grew up.

YHA Cornwall provides supported accommodation and one-to-one support for young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. They help young people build life skills, access education, find work and take those crucial steps towards a more secure, independent future.

I’d love to raise £1,000 to help them continue that work.

On 8 May 2027, I’ll be doing a tandem skydive to raise money for YHA Cornwall. As someone who loves heights, I suspect I’ll enjoy every second of it, but the real purpose is to turn that experience into something much more important: raising £1,000 to help young people in Cornwall have the safety, support and opportunities they deserve.

If you’re able to sponsor me, however big or small the donation, I’d be hugely grateful. Every donation will take me a little closer to that £1,000 target and help support a young person towards a safer, more secure future.

Thank you so much for supporting me and YHA Cornwall. ❤️🪂
