At the end of a sentence support from the National Probation Service ends, leaving more vulnerable individuals at risk of re-offending. We provide mentoring support for these vulnerable individuals, helping them to rebuild positive lives and reduce high rates of re-offending.
We use trained volunteer mentors who provide advice, guidance, help and support as well as someone to talk to. They are impartial, objective and non-judgemental, offering a wide range of support including help to access education/ learning, training, housing/ accommodation, health, relationships and volunteering. Mentors can accompany mentees when attending appointments and can also act as advocates if required.
Volunteer mentors
Volunteer mentors have a contracting relationship with their mentees that encourages, supports and enables mentees to increase their motivation, self-esteem and sense of worth/ achievement. We ensure that we provide a high quality service by providing training, support and supervision for our volunteers. This approach has provided us with a pool of committed and experienced mentors who work with individuals to improve their lives.
