The Nelson Trust

16-25 Year Olds

Pathways of Need, with a trauma-informed and gender-responsive model of support. The mentoring project offers an opportunity for young women at risk of involvement with the criminal justice system to engage with our services where they will receive a comprehensive package of support including both a trusted adult volunteer mentor and a Young Women’s Keyworker.

The Door

11-17 Year Olds

The Door has been offering mentoring to young people for over 20 years. Our trauma informed and needs led services offer tailored support for young people in a safe space. Mentoring is offered alongside a trusted adult, allowing the young person to grow in confidence, build their self esteem and be met without judgement.  Our volunteer mentors spend time with you because they want to, not because they are being paid to. They are trained to understand ACEs, identify risk and involvement in criminal activity and provide emotional support. This is delivered with compassion to empower, support and walk alongside a young person on their journey through mentoring. 

Young Gloucestershire

For 11-14 Year Olds

Young Gloucestershire (YG) is a countywide charity that supports disadvantaged young people who are facing challenges in their lives.

YG supports young people who are facing some very difficult times; whether it be a disruptive home life, caring for a family member or coping with a mental health issue. Young people turn to us for help and we offer them practical ways to find confidence and develop the skills they need to get on track and to move into a job, education or training.

YG’s vision is for young people to have the confidence motivation and skills to improve their lives. We work to achieve this vision by creating opportunities that educate, inform and inspire.
