Mentoring is a really fantastic and rewarding way to make a significant difference to the life of someone else. Apart from the personal satisfaction of helping someone, it is also an opportunity to enhance your own life and build new skills.
A minimum commitment of 1 year is needed to ensure these goals can be met.
Adults living with this progressive and debilitating condition can face a variety of challenges that disadvantage them socially, financially and in the workplace. The restrictions on their lifestyle can leave them isolated and sometimes struggling to cope. A Mentor will meet with young adult(s) regularly to build a trusting one to one relationship and provide on going practical support. The relationship will help achieve a better quality of life by broadening their horizons, improving their confidence and increasing their independence.
