Mentoring

We are part of a mentoring scheme to help young people leaving care realise their full potential.

We work alongside the Prince's Trust in a partnership called Help is at Hand which provides this service for young people aged between 13 and 21 years.

Our volunteer mentors help them develop new skills and open up opportunities for them by offering them one-to-one advice and encouragement.

They do this by helping them set new goals, develop hobbies and interests and acquire decision-making skills.

People from all walks of life become mentors as well as those with relevant experience and qualifications but all volunteers need to be 21 years or older.

We provide training and support for all our volunteers and we recently gained the Quality Kitemark in recognition of our good practice.

For further information contact our Mentoring Service Co-ordinator.
