Do you know a young person who could use some extra support?

We're now taking referrals for our Volunteer Mentoring Programme, through which young people facing tough challenges are supported for a full year by:

💙A skilled practitioner – who listens and joins up support, so young people's voices are heard and their needs are understood.

💚A trained volunteer mentor – who provides a safe, weekly space to chat and enjoy activities that boost wellbeing, confidence and skills.

Every week, we see how this consistent, tailored and engaging support makes a real difference.

If you know a young person who would benefit, please visit our website to find out more about the referral process (link in the comments).

The deadline to refer is midday on Wednesday 10 June.

For our young people, knowing their mentor has chosen to be by their side, to listen, not judge, and encourage them, is what makes all the difference.

This is why, from Monday 1 June, we’ll be joining charities across the UK in celebrating Volunteers’ Week 🎉

Keep an eye out next week as we share some heart-warming mentor moments and say a big thank you to all our volunteers, past and present.

And if you’ve volunteered with us and would be happy to share your experience, please get in touch! Your words could inspire someone else to volunteer 💙💚

Why does activity-based mentoring make such a difference?

For a young person, being absorbed in an activity side by side with a trusted adult can make it much easier to share what's on their mind.

Activities take the pressure off, shift the focus away from them, and give them the time and space to open up, if they want to.

They are also great for improving wellbeing, developing skills and confidence.

If you'd like to learn more, either as a parent/carer professional, or as a supporter, please visit our website 👇 or get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
