The Redbridge Mentoring Project aims to improve young people’s social skills, reduce their social exclusion, and empower them to take advantage of opportunities that are available to them during the year that they work with the project and in the future.

The project will offer each young person access to a trained mentor who will be recruited from the local community. The mentoring relationship will provide young people with an adult role model who can empower them and support them to achieve agreed goals.

The project will work with young people age 8 –17 referred through the Youth inclusion and Support Panel, Prolific and Other Priority Offenders Scheme and Anti-Social Behaviour Panels.
