Story

Over the last four years, thanks to external funding received from Children In Need, we've had the privilege of successfully running our vital Mentoring service. This program has provided essential assistance to more than 156 youths and their families. Our mentoring approach proves invaluable for young individuals who require additional support in enhancing their social aptitude, managing their emotions, or seeking guidance about the challenges of growing up.

Through the dedication of 99 volunteer mentors, we've facilitated an impressive tally of 2125 dynamic and captivating sessions.

Regrettably, the funding sustaining our mentoring endeavour is drawing to a close. We're currently in search of means to secure the continuity of this crucial service for the young people of Wigan and Leigh.
