“We are so delighted to receive this support, especially after a tough few years over the pandemic,” comments Mentoring Plus CEO Ruth Keily. “Like many charities, we’re seeing demand for our help at an all-time high, while at the same time we are finding it harder to recruit volunteers than before, which is essential for our work. This will help us ensure we can reach the right people, give them the best training and support them to mentor young people safely and enjoyably. We so appreciate the support of local businesses, and always share with our young people that organisations in their community think they are worth investing in.”
