About us
Who we are
Trelya, the Cornish word for 'Change'.
An award-winning charity worlking to improve health and wellbeing, and enable positive change in West Cornwall's most under resourced communities.
Our culture and values
We know from experience that the children, young people and families living in our communities are unique and skilled individuals with incredible potential. Trelya creates opportunities to fulfil that potential through provision of a nursery (rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted), an award-winning youth work and mentoring programme and ‘Gul,’ our highly successful employment and training programme. Children and young people from Trelya have gone on to do incredible things – from exhibiting at the Saatchi Gallery in London to playing football for Cornwall and studying at University to become a qualified medical professional.
We work holistically with all family members which ensures change is deep rooted, achievable, and sustainable.
