Life can feel loud, busy and overwhelming.

Take a moment today to pause, take a breath, and let go of whatever you don’t need to carry right now.
We created this video last year to mark world mental health day, the message remains as important today as ever.

This summer, our Engage Summer Week brought young people from local schools together for five action-packed days centred on movement, mental health awareness, and friendship.

We kicked off the week with an energetic Padel tournament, followed by a multi-sport day featuring friendly pickleball and basketball rivalries with Jones Jr Sports. To unwind, the group enjoyed trips to see Toy Story 5 and bowling at Airtastic. Throughout the week, participants jumped at every opportunity to try new activities and build meaningful connections with their peers and the Reach team.

Beyond the physical activities, the week prioritised practical wellbeing tools and emotional support. In partnership with Links Counselling, participants joined an interactive workshop exploring how anxiety affects the mind and body - mapping out personal triggers and testing sensory coping strategies like stress balls and calming scents.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team, partners, and to the Department of Education RAISE funding who made these activities possible.

We are really excited for the next season for Jane, Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she moves into the next season.

Next up in our staff introductions… our Connect Coordinators!

Connect Coordinators have a similar role to our Mentoring Coordinators, but often have the privilege of spending a longer time within their schools. Funded by the school to help meet an increasing need, Connect Coordinators become part of the fabric of school life — providing support to pastoral teams by mentoring our young people and journeying alongside them.

We are so thankful for everything they do within our local schools, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they begin mentoring this academic year.

With all the growth we’ve experienced as an organisation, we thought it was time to introduce (or reintroduce!) our staff team to you.

First up… our Mentoring Coordinators!

Our Mentoring Coordinators are responsible for representing Reach within a specific community. Each week, they spend time in the schools across their area, usually 1–3 hours in each school, building relationships and mentoring young people. But their role doesn’t stop there. Mentoring Coordinators are also responsible for connecting with local businesses, churches and members of the community. If you ever see one of them in your school, or in the community, please stop by and say hello!

Keep an eye out as we introduce more of our amazing team over the coming weeks!

Reach Mentoring's vision is that every young person unleashes their full potential to be the best version of themselves that they can be. Our mission is to create positive, informing, and empowering mentoring relationships with children and young people while working in partnership with local schools, churches, and relevant agencies.

As Reach Mentoring continues to develop, we seek to employ a full time Connect Programme Coordinator, in which we are looking for an enthusiastic person to build upon established partnerships in local schools and become engrained in the local community.
