Nancherrow Project is a registered charity dedicated to providing youth activity in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. The committee manage and run regular youth programmes out of the Nancherrow Centre in the heart of St Just. The building was purpose built in 1995.
Our youth activity currently consists of a weekly youth club and other one off projects. Our facilities provide opportunities for young people to do a variety of things including making music, learning crafting techniques, gaining employment skills, charity work and more.
We are always interested in hearing from anyone who may be interested in supporting a project, sharing their skills and expertise or helping as a volunteer in the day to day running of the centre.
Nancherrow Youth Centre reopened in Spring 2025 after completion in of our Nancherrow Energy Upgrade Project funded by CLUP. Read more about the project in our blog.
