Quotations
Jeremy MilnesFame Academy mentor and TV personality Jeremy Milnes “Mentoring and befriending is an incredibly powerful vehicle for empowering people. Volunteering as a mentor or befriender is a valuable and worthwhile use of time, which is hugely appreciated by those receiving advice and support.
People are often put off the idea of being a mentor or befriender by thinking ‘what can I offer?’ when, actually, they have years of experience and knowledge. I know from personal experience how the simple act of offering tips, advice and companionship to people, who may have had a tough time but want to get on in life, can be utterly life changing.”
