We could not support young people without your help

Explore our events

Since 1998, our volunteer mentors have helped show over 1000 young people a positive path forward, helping them cope with life’s challenges and feel happier and more confident.

These young people have kept out of trouble, re-engaged with education and training, found work and contributed to community in their turn – some by returning as mentors themselves.

Just one quarter of our annual operating cost is covered by fees for mentoring services commissioned by Bath & NE Somerset Council. For the rest, we rely on the support of grant-making funds, and donations and fundraising by local people and organisations, as well as income from other paid services.
