#TimetoTake5 with Mentoring Plus

Organised by Mentoring Plus

We'd like you to take some time out and choose 5 items in your home or garden and make something creative and at the same time help us support young people locally. A puppet, a den or a hat perhaps ? More great ideas can be found on our facebook page

Mentoring Plus supports young people struggling with education, family, isolation or emotional harm. We train and match adult volunteers to mentor 7-21 year olds from their community one to one. Mentors introduce new ideas, build confidence and wellbeing, and help achieve precious potential.

Story

At Mentoring Plus we work with many young people who have all sorts of challenges to deal with - through our volunteer mentoring, they have a safe space to talk to somebody on a weekly basis, somebody who can listen, who can do fun stuff like play games and somebody who is consistently there for them. During Covid-19 like many other charities we have had to adapt our work, our mentors are still there but we've had to be creative in the way we do mentoring now. Messages on WhatsApp or short films which our practitioners are able to share with the mentees in a safe and secure way - this enables mentoring to continue at a very important time for our young people.

We have been sending out activity packs to our young people with craft items and we know they will make all sorts of things. We thought it would be great to get everybody involved so we have launched #TimetoTake5 - by choosing 5 items, any items you craft with - the challenge is to make something creative and share with us, nominate 5 friends or family and donate £5 to Mentoring Plus so we can continue to support young people locally.
