Volunteer Mentoring Programme for Care Experienced Young People

The City of Wolverhampton Council is seeking interest from providers in supporting the delivery of a volunteer mentoring scheme for care experienced young people 14 -25 that live within 20-mile radius of Wolverhampton. The intention is to have mentors work together with a care experienced young person at their own pace to forge trusting and positive relationships that support, challenge, and empower young people to unlock their own skills and to shape their own futures; reducing social isolation and loneliness, improving physical and mental health, building skills, confidence and opportunities and enabling young people to lead change. The intention is that the mentoring scheme would also provide a pen pal scheme to young people in custody.
