We are very pleased to announce that on 1st August 2007, we were awarded Approved Provider Status by the National Mentoring & Befriending Foundation. This award is acknowledged by the Home Office and the Department for Children, Young People and Families as achieving an approved standard in all aspects of mentoring provision. Thanks go to Pete and Cindy for their support in achieving this award but mainly to you, our volunteer mentors who make such a difference to children, young people and families - Thank You!
We are currently not recruiting mentors at this time but watch this space!
Please pass the word around to your family, friends and work colleagues. I particularly need more males to volunteer - although, of course it must be said that you ladies do a Superb job. Tell the men in your lives to get up off their backsides, stop watching football on TV, or going to the pub every night and become a volunteer. Research shows that Volunteering is good for the soul - those that partake live longer, are healthier and find a purpose in their lives - how GOOD is that!
Please watch this space for future training courses.
