About

Empowering Cornwall’s Young People Since 2015

Founded by Paula in 2015, Take 2 Cornwall has dedicated nearly a decade to transforming the lives of children, teenagers, and young adults across the region. Our mission centres on delivering personalised support programmes tailored to each individual’s unique needs, abilities, and aspirations. With two decades of combined experience among our team members, we’ve built a reputation for helping young people aged 5 to 25 navigate the challenges they face, whether that’s preventing school exclusion, facilitating smooth transitions into further education, or developing the essential life skills needed for independence and success.

Our approach is rooted in building trusting, respectful relationships with both young people and their families throughout Cornwall. We believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment where they feel valued and understood. Through our partnerships with local community organisations, charities, educational institutions, and venues like the National Trust, we create engaging, activity-based learning opportunities that go far beyond traditional classroom settings.

From outdoor adventures and educational visits to hands-on workshops and confidence-building exercises, we design experiences that promote personal growth, healthy peer interactions, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

What distinguishes Take 2 Cornwall is our committed team of experienced professionals who bring diverse skills and genuine passion to their work. Every young person’s journey with us is carefully tracked through comprehensive progress portfolios, documenting achievements and milestones that celebrate their development. We’ve successfully supported countless transitions into schools, colleges, traineeships, and work placements, helping families across Cornwall build brighter futures. Our close relationships with local colleges including PETROC and Cornwall College ensure pathways remain open for continued education and training, while our flexible, child-focused philosophy means we adapt our services to meet each family where they are, providing the second chance that every young person deserves.
