Grandmentors is a volunteering programme which provides young people, especially those leaving the care system, the opportunity to achieve their best possible futures with the help and support of older mentors.
By merging and by taking a place-based approach – shaped by local knowledge, energy and understanding – more people will be supported.
‘We raised our voice on the behalf of women who experienced abuse, violence, exploitation and discrimination.’
‘I used to think that one person couldn’t change the world, but I changed my mind… a small impact on one person that is a huge change.’
Grandmentors is an innovative project that sees older volunteers use their lifetime of skills and experience to support young people leaving the care system.
Across the UK, our inspirational volunteers are on a mission to help people stay connected, healthy and active. We’re bringing people together but need funds to keep our vital services running.
