We provide mentoring support to help young people cope with the many challenges and hardships they might be facing. We also deliver social and emotional learning programmes to groups of young people to help develop their skills and capabilities.We hope our reactive support and proactive education will have a deep and long lasting impact on the mental and physical health of our young people.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Funding would support: The cost of training new mentors and paying some mentors. All our mentors are professionally supported on a 1:1 monthly basis by a qualified Supervisor from the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). Our aim is to offer preventative measures in capturing young people's anxieties early, giving them a boost to their self-esteem and a sense of purpose, focus, self-worth and confidence. In this way, we can hopefully prevent the more serious issues arising, alleviating the need for referrals to mental health services, where there are long waiting lists and often involving a lengthy and traumatic recovery period for the young person.
