We mentor young offenders to reduce re offending

Story

I am walking just under 20 miles on 13th November 2022 from HMP Isis to HMP Brixton to raise at least £700, celebrating my 70th birthday.

Trailblazers provides mentors for young offenders in the last period of their sentence with the primary objective of supporting them build crime free lives and thereby reducing re-offending. I am a trustee of Trailblazers and during a recent visit to one of the prisons, where we provide support, a repeat  offender (drug-related) described our project manager (who matches mentors with mentees) as his "guardian angel". I want to help him and other young men who are desperate to break their cycle of re-offending.

Trailblazers needs at least £35,000 every month to provide this service and more information can be found at www.trailblazersmentoring.org.uk.
