Offering one to one mentoring support, the service gives vulnerable individuals, particularly young people, the opportunity to have a mentor to support and guide them aiming to:

​

• Reduce  offending and/or anti-social behaviour through involvement in positive activities

• Raise awareness to the consequences of risk taking behaviours

• Build the resilience of and provide support to vulnerable individuals (reducing the risk of exposure to abusive situations and improving life chances)

• Reduce the gap between disadvantaged young people and their peers by funding sustainable activities

• Support individuals to develop positive relationships.

​​

We are funded by a series of small grants, often coming via Suffolk Community Foundation. It costs approximately £500 to provide a 20-week mentoring arrangement for a young person incorporating meaningful activities.

​

The mentoring support is delivered by trained volunteers and can range from a set period of visits for a young person, to an open ended arrangement for a family.
