‘It’s both challenging and rewarding. I think I’m similar to many mentors in that I wanted to volunteer with GMP because I wanted to support a young person and try and make a difference. It’s important to remember that making a difference isn’t necessarily going to be anything huge, it could simply be turning up to each session on time. It’s an opportunity to make a difference, even a tiny difference, to the life of someone who’s struggling. We’ve had 4 sessions, so it’s still early days. My mentee seems to be comfortable talking to me and this in itself feels like signifi-cant progress.’
