Volunteer Mentors are needed to take part in a national programme, a large part of which is happening in the Wrexham area.

Equal Approach is searching for volunteers to support disadvantaged individuals, including those with disabilities and health conditions. Equal Approach will to train you to be a mentor or befriender to enable you
to effectively support disabled people who have been made redundant or are at risk of redundancy from Remploy factories.

The programme aims to enable individuals to achieve their personal aspirations and reach their potential by supporting re-engagement into mainstream employment or integration into local communities.

As a volunteer Mentor you will meet with a mentee locally, for an hour a week, on a 1:1 basis, for a period of up to 12 months. The Mentoring & Befriending Foundation (MBF) will provide initial training, ongoing support and  contribute to out-of-pocket expenses.

The opportunity provides a rewarding and inspiring volunteering opportunity for a wide range of individuals from a variety of walks of life – whether it is creating a unique experience to enhance career opportunities, develop new skills, build up CV’s or for personal satisfaction.
