What is this service?

Our Grandmentors come from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, enabling them to understand and meet the range of needs of their mentees.

Our trained volunteers, forge trusting and positive relationships that support, challenge, and empower mentees to unlock their own skills and to shape their own futures.

Mentoring gives a young person (age 16-24) a positive relationship with an adult who is there just for them. Not another professional that has been assigned to them, but an adult that they have chosen to match with based on the mentors’ qualities and experience and how these may support the young person in achieving goals of their own.

Our goal is to provide consistency and stability to our care experienced young people and so you should expect that a match could last anywhere up to a year, in some cases longer however this is based on the individual needs of your mentee.

Through regular meetings you will be boosting your mentees confidence and working towards goals specific to them. Ultimately you will be giving them the skills and self-belief to lead successful and independent lives.

What people say

This (having a mentor) is a lot more laid back and there's integrity behind it.
