GMP is led by four organisations that have joined forces to provide crucial local support for young people in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire. Our trained volunteer mentors work hand-in-hand with their mentees, fostering trusted relationships that lead to improved life outcomes. And we offer additional support by working with other providers to bridge the gap between young people and the services they require.
Supporting
We offer a safe space where young people can build trusting relationships with supportive adults.

COLLABORATING TO CHANGE THINGS
What makes us
stand out
We are committed to offering early intervention support to young people who are facing challenging life experiences or have lived through these in the past. And to journeying with those who are ready to take control of their own lives, make positive changes, and build a brighter future. Every young person on the Programme benefits from a listening ear and support that’s designed to meet their individual needs and circumstances. It’s a collaborative approach that can change lives and communities.
About us
The Gloucestershire
Mentoring Programme
Gloucestershire Mentoring Programme took its first steps towards supporting young women and girls at the end of 2021, officially launching in March 2022. Since then, we’ve been pleased to extend our offer to all 10 – 25-year-olds, and we continue to focus on those whose life circumstances suggest they’re at risk of becoming involved in crime. We help these young people journey towards a positive future by providing trusted mentors who meet with them on a regular basis (usually weekly) for up to a year and sometimes longer. And by collaborating to help them benefit from additional support and services that meet their needs.
