About volunteer mentoring

Through our award-winning volunteer mentoring, we train and support volunteers, matching them with a young person aged 7-25 who needs a positive role model – someone to take them out weekly, explore interests, try new activities, and have fun.

For a young person facing challenges like poor mental health, difficulties at school or family breakdown, time with a kind adult can have a powerful impact on their wellbeing.

If you’re kind, empathetic, and can spare 1-2 hours a week, we’d love to hear from you!

Corporate Partnerships

Selecting us as your Charity of the Year, choosing us for employee volunteering or mentor training, are all wonderful ways to support our work and enable your business to make a meaningful difference.
