Do you want to make a difference in the local community? Do you have the time to become a “friend with a purpose” to a young person or family in the area?
We run a community mentoring scheme which enables young people to be paired with trained coaches who will spend time with them on a weekly or fortnightly basis, listening and helping them reach their goals in life.
We are fully trained and supported through the COACH scheme (Creating Opportunity and Casting Hope). The programme is accredited by the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation. It teaches both the practical skills needed to be a good mentor, as well as important issues such as safeguarding and boundaries.
The Coaches are supported regularly with ongoing training (monthly on a Monday evening) and on a one to one level by the Co-ordinator.
If you are interested in knowing more or getting involved please contact Jenni Spargo.
