Friendship Works
We offer mentoring support to help children and young people who are having problems growing up in their home and social environment. Whatever their problems, a close long-term friendship with an adult mentor can have a huge positive effect on a child’s life. An extra adult acting as a mentor helps a child to access new experiences, manage challenges, have fun, explore new interests and develop life-skills. Our mentors meet the child they are matched with on a regular basis for two years to build a friendship which can make a lasting difference.
•For a child who is socially isolated, a mentor connects them.
•For a child needing adult support, a mentor is there for them.
•For young carers, a mentor gives them the chance to be a child again.
