Our Mentors are all volunteers who have been through a recruitment process, have undertaken a training programme and are DBS checked.
We are always impressed at their willingness to give their time, skills and experience to working with young people.
They are supported through regular supervision and ongoing training as required.
How to Make a Referral
If you would like to refer a young person to our service please complete our referral form and check list, which can be downloaded below.
We are unable to accept self referrals from parents or young people.
It is important that you discuss the referral with a parent or carer as well as the young person and obtain their signed consent for the service. Please check the referral check list to ensure that the referral meets our criteria.
The service is coordinated by our Mentor Coordinators who will meet with the young person and a parent or carer to discuss the service, explore with the young person what they wish to achieve through the mentoring relationship and match the young person with a suitable mentor.
If we don’t have a mentor available, one of our Coordinators will discuss with you whether it is appropriate to place the young person on our waiting list or look for alternative support.
We are not a crisis or emergency service. We can and do work alongside other service providers, but we are not a substitute for other services.
If you would like more information or to discuss your referral please contact one of our Mentor Coordinators:
