Steps to Work Mentoring Scheme


The West Berkshire Mentoring Network is actively seeking Volunteer Mentors for the Steps to Work programme. The programme aims to help people who have faced challenges in their lives, such as homelessness, prepare for learning or work. Three hours per week will be required and travel expenses will be paid. 


One to one time between a mentor and mentee can:
 • Provide structure and support to enable and empower people to make changes in their lives that will help them into learning or work
• Encourage self-belief and self-confidence
• Raise awareness and aspirations linked to new opportunities and choices
• Show by example
• Help people to manage transitions successfully
• Share and teach practical skills
• Offer an adult relationship that is not about care, protection or control
 

Training is being provided in Newbury on Thursdays 13 and 27 June 2013 from 9.30 am - 3 pm. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please either telephone Rachel Craggs on 01635 264617 or email stepstowork@westberks.gov.uk
