Cornwall Youth Council Launches New Campaigns for 2026-2028

Young people across Cornwall have spoken, and now it's time for action.

Following the 2026 Cornwall Youth Council elections, where over 13,500 young people voted, Cornwall Youth Council has launched its new campaign booklet and identified five key priorities that reflect what matters most to children and young people across Cornwall.

The new booklet celebrates the achievements of Cornwall Youth Council so far and sets out the work planned for the next eighteen months. Built on children's rights and informed directly by young people's experiences, the campaigns focus on:

Transport Access & Freedom to Travel
Helping young people access education, employment, activities and opportunities through affordable, accessible and reliable transport.

Sports, Leisure & Safe Activity Spaces
Creating and protecting safe, welcoming spaces where young people can be active, socialise and take part in activities they enjoy.

Mental Health Support & Wellbeing
Improving awareness, support and access to information that helps young people look after their mental health.

Accessibility, Disability & Inclusion
Raising awareness, promoting inclusion and helping ensure all young people can access the support and opportunities they need.

Increasing Youth Voice & Support
Making sure children and young people feel listened to, involved in decisions and connected to opportunities to have their voices heard.

These campaigns have been shaped through conversations with hundreds of young people across Cornwall and are linked to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Cornwall Council priorities.

We would love you to explore the booklet, learn more about the campaigns, and find out how you can support positive change for children and young people in Cornwall.
