MCR Pathways was founded in 2007 to address the gap in life-chances and educational outcomes, between care-experienced young people and their peers. The MCR charity was established to support young people who have experienced disadvantage and help them realise their full potential through education. We do this through our school-based mentoring programme – matching young people with a fully-trained volunteer mentor.

I have volunteered as a mentor since January and have experienced the benefit it can have on the young person and the mentor. I want to raise money to support this programme and help more young people in Dundee.
