Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change is a charity and a social enterprise which aims to transform the quality of life for people, places and communities by working with residents and partners to provide choices and opportunities for all.

We specifically target our work on the most disadvantaged individuals and communities in Cornwall, particularly working with residents of Cornwall’s long-neglected social housing estates where there is often a level of deprivation that is equivalent to that of England’s poorest inner city areas. We tackle disadvantage and discrimination by focussing our services on disadvantaged individuals and neighbourhoods and by making sure that these services are accessible and meet local needs. We offer a personalised service approach that combats discrimination against often stigmatised or disregarded communities of interest (e.g. lone parents, women, the elderly, children and young people, people with disabilities, the workless, ex-offenders, people with drug and alcohol problems, and members of Black and Minority Ethnic communities).

Our vision is to give choice, change and control to communities throughout Cornwall.

We are an inclusive organisation whose main focus is on social housing residents.

We have a dedicated board of trustees and a staff of 50. We work with a wide range of partners and funding bodies.
