Welcome to the Mentivity JustGiving Page!

Our young people desperately need a youth club and a safe community led space to be in. Somewhere they can be mentored, seen, heard, educated, empowered and allowed to express themselves through their passions. We have seen numerous youth clubs and spaces for youth closed down over the last ten years in Southwark leaving thousands of young people with nowhere to go.

Mentivity was founded in January 2016, to mentor and support young people, as well as their families and since then, we have been searching for a home to be able to provide the extensive mentoring support and youth club activities for the young people that we serve.

WE FINALLY HAVE OUR OWN HOME!

We are so excited to have secured our new building which will help us to reach and impact many more young people, their families and the local community.

However, we need your support to help us run the facility and deliver our mentoring and holistic support work to young people and their families.

Why We Need Your Support...

COVID-19 has impacted us all in ways we could never have imagined. Despite this, we have been working hard to make sure we can provide support by focusing our offer in the following areas:

A Brand New Youth Club Space

Mentivity Food Bank - Supporting Families Battling Food Poverty

A Brand New Podcast Room and Music Studio

Raising Aspirations - Careers and Employability

Increased Access to Mental Health Support

Please help Mentivity to raise the necessary funds to further increase our offer to young people, families and schools that desperately need our service after the impact of this global pandemic

What is Mentivity?

Mentivity is an inspirational mentoring organisation and alternative educational provision that aims to provide aspirational support for young people, schools and parents through 1:1 mentoring and group conversation based learning for both boys and girls aged between 8 and 25.

We provide structured mentoring and educational support for our diverse spectrum of young people through their journey of adolescence by using conversation based learning whilst providing information, advice and guidance.

Our Mission...
