Volunteer Coordinator Unfold
Mentors for Women provide emotional, social & practical support to women with children aged 5+.
Empower women to identify changes they wish to make and goals they wish to achieve. Over 12 to 24 weekly sessions, mentors offer coaching style support to women to help them achieve their goals and get them where they want to be. Provide a listening ear and talk thorough the challenges women face. Support women to make social connections with the local community or groups, refer and signpost them to other organisations providing more specialist support if needed. Your mentoring will help women break cycles of social isolation, improve family cohesion, and wellbeing.
