Mentoring for Young People

Online one-to-one mentoring that starts with who a young person is, what matters to them and what helps them feel safe. Our programmes are starting points, not rigid boxes.

Through shared interests, creative activities and open conversations, we support young people to build confidence, explore new possibilities and develop skills at their own pace.

Supporting connection and individual interests
Our approach

A consistent relationship makes a difference.

We match mentors thoughtfully and focus on building trust over time. Sessions can be shaped around gaming, art, music, personal interests and practical activities. We work with families and professionals to identify meaningful goals without fixed deadlines for progress.

Built around interests

We start with what the young person enjoys and what matters to them.

One-to-one online sessions

Online, one-to-one support that respects communication preferences.

Build confidence over time

Space to explore, try new things and develop skills at their own pace.

Work with families

We collaborate with families and professionals on meaningful, flexible goals.

Five flexible starting points.

Our programmes are flexible approaches, not fixed packages. Each young person is matched with a mentor where a suitable match is available.

Each programme offers a different way to explore interests, build confidence and discover possibilities. A young person may benefit from one approach or a combination of interests. We discuss suitability and mentor availability individually.

How mentoring can help.

We take time to understand the young person’s interests, communication preferences, individual needs, what they enjoy and the support they would like. We discuss what families and professionals hope mentoring might help with and explore which programme or approach may be suitable.

Current delivery: online, one-to-one. Please enquire about suitability and availability for individual programmes.

We discuss the programmes and how they might suit the young person.

Individual matching

Mentors are matched around interests, individual needs and availability. A suitable match cannot be guaranteed.

Flexible and personalised

Support can adapt as relationships develop. Progress is individual, with flexible goals agreed collaboratively.

Sessions are led by the young person’s interests. Young people are not pressured to speak or use their camera. Communication preferences are respected, while safeguarding responsibilities continue to apply.

Mentoring is not clinical therapy, crisis support or a substitute for statutory educational provision.

Start with understanding
