Young People Cornwall provides affiliation for voluntary youth and sports clubs throughout Cornwall. Our services include support for youth organisations around issues such as governance, fundraising and training. We also offer bespoke training packages, a dedicated insurance scheme for youth projects and CRB checks. We are a Registered Body for the Criminal Records Bureau and are able to assist clubs and projects with Criminal Records disclosures on their volunteers and members of staff.

By affiliating to Young People Cornwall your organisation / club can gain membership of the United Kingdom’s largest non-uniformed Youth Organisations enabling you to enjoy the benefits of networking, good practice and enabling the young people you work with to access National and International events.

From January 2008 all affiliate organisations will benefit from a reduced administration charge of only £10 for CRB checks processed by us.  

From 1st August 2008 YPC will have a dedicated worker who can provide support to youth clubs across the county on a range of issues including fundraising, governance and training.

Affiliation fees for 2008 will continue to be £40.00 per organisation which gives you the following benefits:

1. Membership of an independent County and UK wide youth work lobby that can and does represent your views to government and other agencies and sectors.

2. The benefits that come from being part of a voluntary sector organisation that others wish to work with, e.g. Arts Councils, Sports Councils and Health Authorities.

3. Access to a customisable range of other insurance – personal accident, hazardous activities and enhanced public liability at extremely advantageous rates, specially tailored to youth work needs.

4. Advice on personnel matters and help with your fundraising applications.

5. Advice and training on all youth work matters especially in regard to Health & safety, Child Protection and Risk Assessment.

6. Free occasional publications, posters and other promotional items.

7. Professional support and advice to staff and voluntary committees of affiliated groups.
