About

We support children affected by one or more of the following:
• In or leaving care
• At risk of educational disengagement
• Issues of cultural isolation
• Displaying signs of anti-social behaviour
• Substance abuse directly or within the family
• Emotional problems such as anxiety, bullying, etc
• Family issues, including bereavement, domestic abuse or offending within the family

Through our Volunteer Mentoring Programme, young people aged 7-25 are supported for up to 12 months by a volunteer mentor and a dedicated practitioner. Mentors lead engaging, activity-based weekly sessions to build trust, confidence, and life skills, while practitioners coordinate and join up support so young people are heard and understood.

This service is offered to young people aged 7-21 (21-25 with a SEND diagnosis).
If you know a young person facing challenges such as poor mental health or difficulties at school or home, mentoring could help.
