‘Yes, In My Backyard’ – Our Grandmentors featured in East Anglia Daily Times

Our Grandmentors project was recently featured in the East Anglia Daily Times, urging local business leaders to support our new ‘Yes, In My Backyard (YIMBY) initiative.

“The YIMBY Brunch” event is being held in Ipswich on Thursday, August 17, to encourage people aged 50-plus to share their business or life experience through the GrandMentors project run by the Volunteering Matters organisation.

Grandmentors is a mentoring project which pairs people aged 50-plus wishing to share their business or life experience with young people aged 16-24. They’ll be encouraged to spend an hour per week with their mentee, where they will support and encourage them in working towards their educational and employment goals.

The launch event will be held at the Ipswich Haven Marina in Suffolk on Thursday 17th August, and will run from 09:30 – 11:00, with a presentation by Dionne Walton from Volunteering Matters.
