Our volunteers come from all walks of life and we accept all volunteers that have something to offer those we support. We then invest in training and supporting these volunteers. All our volunteers complete a three day training course and have the opportunity to shadow before being matched to a suitable mentor.
Our project co-ordinators monitor the mentoring relationship and support volunteers with monthly supervision. This ensures that the mentoring relationship is effective and able to offer the practical and emotional support that the person needs.
Volunteers are also supported to develop, we understand that volunteers are also seeking outcomes, often they want to gain experience and learn new skills to help with their own future plans.
