What we do

We offer a range of opportunities to enable people to gain experience, skills and confidence and make positive lasting change in their lives.

While our services are as diverse as the individuals we support, our aim is simple – to offer everyone an equal chance to reach their full potential, no matter what barriers they face.

Mentoring

We match volunteer mentors to vulnerable young people aged 14-25 to support them to achieve personal goals, increase their confidence and build their positive social networks.
