Our Mentoring programme is about working with young people aged between 11-25 by listening and offering guidance and support.

We recruit and train volunteer mentors from the local community to support young people who are experiencing issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, domestic abuse, youth offending and bullying, or are leaving the care system.

They focus on supporting the young person to develop coping strategies and to help them to deal with the issues.

We are always looking for new Mentors.

As a Mentor you will have the opportunity to help improve a young person's well being, confidence and to develop their skills by working with them on a 1-2-1 basis a couple of hours a week.

Full training and support is offered throughout your time Mentoring with us.
