Our volunteer mentors go into school on a weekly basis to work one-to-one with primary aged children. Mentoring sessions are relaxed and informal and the mentor acts as a listening ear, a sounding board and because of the consistency and continuity they offer, over time, they become a trusted friend and are there to support when worries are shared.
We are currently looking for mentors to volunteer in Chippenham, Corsham and Melksham primary schools.
- Mentoring provides children with an independent listening ear
- It is positive, quality 1-1 time with an interested, enthusiastic adult who only has the child’s best interests at heart.
- Time commitment: 2/3 hours per week (includes 1 afternoon session in school) term time.
- Volunteers need to be able to offer at least a 6 month commitment to this role.
- Training and on going support given to volunteers
