The Mentor Ring

Mentoring vulnerable people

The charity focuses on providing bespoke mentoring support and guidance to people of all ages and backgrounds, helping them to overcome significant barriers to social inclusion. We help individuals and communities tackle their personal challenges - whether it is in health & well-being, education, training, employment, or settling in the UK. Various group activities such as health, and well-being, mums and children's groups, We run the Minority Ethnic Health Fair ( MEC)-an annual event in partnership with various charities and University Health Board. The Health Fair provides an environment where communities can interact with voluntary and public sector health and well-being practitioners. For children and younger people with anxiety and mental health issues, we run activities that suit them.
