Our one to one mentoring programme provides a child or young person with one on one support from a trained volunteer mentor.

Through recreational activity, our volunteer mentors look to enhance their mentees confidence, self-esteem and resilience levels, so that they can take positive steps forward in their lives. 

This is done through weekly sessions that take place within the community so that a positive learning relationship can be formed between the mentor and mentee.

The Island carefully selects, trains and supervises volunteer mentors who make a commitment to meet regularly over the course of a year. The volunteer mentors give their time freely but are provided with a small weekly budget to cover costs, travel and the different activities.
