Congratulations Abby! Thank you for being a fantastic volunteer mentor and making such a huge impact on your young person 🌟
🌟🌟We are delighted to announce that Abby is the first Mentor of the Month for 2026 🌟🌟

January is National Mentoring Month 🌟
Mentoring is about connection, guidance, and belief. It’s a supportive relationship where someone with experience listens, encourages, and helps another person build confidence, skills, and direction in life. We’re proud to offer mentoring for young people* and adults, supporting personal growth, wellbeing, education, and career goals.
We’re looking for volunteer mentors - if you’re a good listener, care about your community, and want to make a real difference, mentoring could be for you. A little time can have a lasting impact. To find out more, contact our amazing Mentoring team at [email protected].

Thank you so much for sharing Emma! Bowling, fun and lots of laughs sounds the perfect way to end the mentoring journey. Thank you for volunteering your time to mentor ❤️
@intandemScot Young person ended their mentoring journey today the same way it began, with a game of bowling. We ended the session with a big belly laugh at how much their bowling skills have improved during that time 🤣🫶🏻
