14 Mentoring Matches and more to come!

Our mentoring programme for young carers (aged 10-18) has started up again! We have been busy matching young carers with mentors since the end of September and shortly will have matched 14 mentors with young carers.  A mentor is someone to spend time with outside of the home environment every two weeks for a year! With a set monthly spending budget, this is an awesome opportunity to plan activities together, have fun and work towards personal goals.

He is easy to talk to and we have been having a lot of fun on our days out ; which have helped me relax . It's been good to get different views about life from my new friend".
