Schools, faith groups, youth centres and public sector have an increasing demand for experienced mentors with the skills to support adults and children with multiple needs.
Mentors provide regular 1-1 support and guidance to people in need. More experienced mentors are needed to provide a stable foundation for young people and adults in need to build a brighter future.
Hackney CVS in partnership with Mighty Men of Valour and Ruth Generation will support active mentors that guide adults and children to achieve the level 2 OCN qualifications. Take part in a two day course. The initiative is subsided, participants pay £25.00

How can trustees support place-based approaches?
2020-01-27 16:00 - 18:00
The places where we live and work define who we are and what we do. They determine the nature of our relationships with the people around us and the nature of the communities that we create together. Place-based approaches are characterised by a shift away from centrally dictated policy, towards holistic and collaborative solutions that are defined, generated and delivered locally.
Aimed at trustees, and anyone interested in place-based working, this seminar will take a look at the charities operating across the UK, and internationally, that are increasingly considering more joined up working to achieve sustained social change. Despite its prevalence, there is still a lack of clarity about what place-based working means and what it looks like in practice, let alone what role trustees might play.
