Older mentors aid care leavers

Children and Young People Now spoke to our regional manager Verna Chung about the positive impact our Grandmentors project is having on care leavers.

Verna said: “A lot of these young people don’t have an older person they can talk to and one of the reasons they’re in care is because they don’t have close family members. Mentors have an opportunity to share valuable life skills and experience, and mentees can use this wisdom and guidance to make choices that will improve their life and career prospects.”
