Mentoring and befriending

Futures Together

Futures Together is a mentoring project, where young muslim women aged 18-35 volunteer to support older Muslim women to improve their English language and computer skills. By bringing together women of different ages, we hope to encourage better understanding between generations and support Muslim women of all ages play an active role in their local community.

Time Together

Time Together matches UK citizens in one-on-one mentoring relationships with refugees. Mentoring is one of the most effective ways of overcoming the difficulties and barriers faced by refugees in the UK. Mentors support, encourage, motivate and guide their mentee as they seek to achieve their goals in education, employment and integration.

Leaders Together

If you're a senior professional working in the voluntary sector, your experience and skills could be invaluable to a refugee leader running a community group. By becoming a mentor with the Leaders Together scheme, you could enable them to develop vital skills and forge links with essential mainstream services. Just 24 hours of your time, spread across 6 months, could increase their effectiveness and boost the impact of their organisation.

Back to Life

Back to Life offers practical and emotional support to young adults recovering from mental health issues. The mentoring scheme helps adults aged 18-35 in Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham to reach their full potential. Someone recovering from a mental health issue may not have the support they need to regain their confidence and move on with their life. A trained volunteer mentor can give friendly and neutral advice about setting realistic goals and taking steps to achieve them.
