Mentoring

Our mentors provide information, advice, and guidance to support young people to make decisions and progress toward their creative ambitions beyond compulsory education. Mentoring sessions are flexible and tailored to the needs of the young person. This year we are supporting 300 mentoring pairs across London, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
