Youth group continues fight to buy dedicated venue after fund setback
The Cornishman
|May 22, 2025
A SERVICE for young people in Penzance and Newlyn has vowed to continue its mission despite a bid for help to buy its current venue being rejected.
PZN Youth leases the former Family Hub on Alverton Street but plans to buy it for £120,000 had asked the Community Levelling Up Panel to offer financial support.
Owning it would allow the community interest company to extend and modify the building to accommodate growing demand, but the CLUP turned down its request.
However, it has secured money from the Community Capacity Fund for a feasibility study, which will be carried out by Hireth Architects at Trewellard in Pendeen and directly involve the centre's young clients.
Entirely funded by grants and donations, including core funding from Penzance Council, PZN Youth provides free, open-access youth club nights which include healthy meals, creative activities, games and access to supportive adults. Its Friday night sessions now regularly welcome and feed up to 50 young people in three time slots.
