Today we thanked our Grandmentors in Wolverhampton with a lovely spot of afternoon tea! 👏 Thanks to Lynne, Kathryn and Deb for all their time and effort whilst mentoring their young people. Experiences were shared and ideas were put forward. #VolunteersWeek2023

A few weeks ago, our mentees and mentors went bowling! It was a great day enjoyed by all and some of our mentees even found new friendships.

If you are interesting in joining Grandmentors by either volunteering, or accessing support from a mentor - then get in touch!

“Being able to talk to Kathryn about my thoughts and feelings and knowing that she genuinely cares made a world of difference”~ Mehdi (Mentee on the Grandmentors project) Read their story below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#VolunteersWeek2023 message to all my Grandmentors in Milton Keynes - thank-you so much for all@that you do and thank-you for choosing to volunteer with us! ❤️ Volunteering Matters Community Action: MK

Spotlighting a few of our wonderful MK Grandmentors! This is Lisa, she’s been with the project since the start and has been an incredible mentor to both Jade and Katie. She goes above and beyond in every way, and brings positivity and laughs to every situation. We love her! ❤️

Sometimes we all need a break...and what better way than to immerse yourself in a brilliant dance show at the local theatre! 😃 Here is our mentor Karen treating her mentee Hana to exactly that on #RefugeeWeek 💃
