Why your support matters

Every week, we see the difference mentoring makes, and every year, more than 100 young people benefit from this kind, consistent and tailored support.

Our volunteer mentors create safe, weekly spaces where young people improve wellbeing and develop skills, while practitioners join up support, so their voices are heard and their needs are understood. 

As demand from young people grows and pressure increases on our sector, we know we can only be there for young people, side by side, with your support.

How your gift will make a difference

Every monthly gift or one-off donation will help us continue supporting young people facing tough challenges in Bath & North East Somerset, with a year of mentoring that helps them feel happier and more confident about themselves and their futures.
