About Treyla
Our Approach
Trelya’s approach is very different from most youth and family organisations. We are not afraid to innovate and challenge the status quo.
The children, young people and families who engage with Trelya often have significant challenges to overcome and we are realistic about the quality and level of support they need to build and sustain positive futures. If a family needs weekly support for years, then that’s what we provide.
Instead of supporting families to address specific issues for set periods of time, we support them for as long as they need us and we address multiple issues, from mental health, physical health, substance dependency, to parenting to housing to employment to exploring Cornwall and beyond. Working holistically, providing wrap around intervention, results in overarching improvements in mental health and wellbeing across whole families.
Trelya understands and values the importance of early intervention and through our ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted registered nursery we begin working with families from the earliest possible point.

There is always a professional and welcoming face ready to listen, planned or unplanned, we shape to fit.
We aim to ensure that children and families have equitable and equal access to health, education, food, warmth and safety. We persevere, and together, no matter what – we get there.
Learning from over 20 years of grass roots experience we ensure our organisational aims are always led by the need of our community. Our responses are innovative, tailored, and we deliver what is really needed to make the long term, sustainable difference.
We aim to find and build on often undiscovered inner strength and resilience. Every person is treated an individual, we unlock their core assets and use these to ignite hope, ambition and fulfilment.
We ensure that children and families have access to the physical resources that they need to have fair and safe day to day experiences. Trelya can provide, or find a way to ensure families have access to; Food, emergency gas and electricity top up, school uniform and PE kit, basic sports equipment, cookers, washing machines, we pay for fast access to therapy, provide transport to health appointments and access to legal advice. Such extensive yet basic provision reduces stress, chaos and gives children and families steadier ground on which to take their next step.
Our 360 degree approach wraps a multi disciplinary team around each family enabling most aspects of life to be covered. We are proud to have a team that contains qualified teachers, qualified social workers, accredited youth workers, early years workers, a sports coach, and a variety of specialists feeding into the physical, emotional, and educational welfare of our families. Building on our internal resources is the expertise of our professional partners with who we have robust relationships. Health visitors, mental health professionals, nutrition experts, school nurses, GP’s, Local Authority social workers, school staff, solicitors, music therapists, speech and language therapists (among others) contribute to our holistic health and wellbeing approach.
