MAPS is an award-winning project supporting children & young people in the London Borough of Sutton. Want to get involved? linktr.ee/MAPSmentoringadvocacy

MAPS Mentoring matches every young person referred with a hand-picked volunteer mentor to support them. Our young people meet with their mentors once a week, so that they can have a safe space to talk and be listened to. They can also join in with their mentor in one of the many exciting group events that we organise, including West End theatre visits, forest school sessions, go karting and trampolining. MAPS mentors come from all walks of life and from all adult age groups. They are hand-picked to match their mentee, depending on their interests and skills. Mentors support and encourage our young people in developing resilience and self-confidence. All our mentors need is a positive attitude towards children and young people, good listening skills and a calm and patient nature. If you want to volunteer as a MAPS mentor, please contact the MAPS Team at Volunteer Centre Sutton at [email protected] or 020 8661 5900 and ask to speak to a member of the MAPS Team. MAPS mentors are given 16 hours of comprehensive training, are DBS checked and are supported regularly by our mentoring practitioners.

What does mentoring look like? 💚

It can be all sorts of things, but today it looked like a game of Scrabble, a frappe and some time to chill at ☕️

Sometimes, it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference. 😊

Why invest in early intervention?

Supporting young people early can help lead healthier, happier and fuller lives. Healthier and happier young people will lead to a stronger Sutton.

Research estimates that adolescent mental-health prevention and early treatment can return around £15 for every £1 invested over one year, rising to £55 over eight years.

Invest early. Change lives. Strengthen Sutton.

Your funding could help MAPS Mentoring reach more young people across Sutton.

Together, we can change young lives and strengthen Sutton.

What can a MAPS Mentor mean to a young person? 💙

👉Someone who listens.
👉Someone who doesn't judge.
👉Someone who turns up.

One young person described MAPS Mentoring as:
“A safe space for me to work through hardships... I've found myself.”

For some young people, having someone in their corner can make a real difference.
