You Matter Mentor
"Everyone I worked with or passed by all showed such kindness towards my children and I. No matter your situation, it feels like there is a place for everyone here!"
Our You Matter programmes were set up to provide young people with essential life skills, support networks, personal growth, and opportunities for career enhancement.
The subject matters discussed are far ranging and designed to work with your aspirations at the heart of it all.
Our You Matter Mentor programme runs in Test Valley with care experienced young people aged 16 – 25. Through 14 weeks of 1-2-1 support, we aspire to help them grow their confidence, improve access to services in their community, and explore future aspirations. Many participants choose to focus on subjects such as: settled housing, employment & training, accessing benefits, and engaging with external services.
