What is the project about?

Shaping Futures is a two‑year community project. It supports young people and their families across Cornwall. Our aim is to raise aspirations and improve access to further education, employment, and training. We want to build a brighter future and work with home‑educated young people across Cornwall.

We are excited to be working with local employers and organisations. With their support we will run events and activities for communities.

These will include:

  • Career and skills workshops
  • Large events with employers and training providers
  • Pop‑up sessions in libraries, youth centres, and village halls
  • Support for groups who may need extra help. This includes SEND learners, Travellers, refugees and excluded learners.

The project supports young people and helps families and communities come together. It gives them space to grow and move toward a brighter future.

Why is it needed?

Cornwall is a beautiful and inspiring place. We understand that transport, seasonal work and limited careers awareness can make planning for the future hard. We are aware that more young people are choosing elective home education, and this trend is growing across Cornwall. Even with these challenges, Cornwall has great potential. By working with families and communities, we will help young people to grow and succeed.

Who is involved?

  • Local partners help deliver activities. These include community groups, post‑16 providers and voluntary organisations..
  • The Project Team is led by a project manager. They support everyone involved to make sure the project runs well.
  • Parents and carers share ideas and feedback. This helps shape the project.

Shaped by the Community

The project is community‑led and shaped by young people and their families. Activities are designed using their ideas and take place in friendly, local spaces. The project aims to build stronger links between families, employers, organisations, and the wider community.
