We enable individuals, churches, charities and businesses to provide the relational and community based support prison-leavers need to live free from crime.

MentorMe is our biggest project. Through it we support people with a criminal conviction who want to start a new life free from crime. We do this by training and supporting people from churches to mentor people with a conviction. It’s a wonderful and practical opportunity for Christians to learn more about God’s heart, their faith and the nature of grace! Our mentoring support is open to people of all faiths and none. We are there to enable people to lead meaningful crime-free lives by helping them achieve the targets they set. We do not proselytize.  

Would you be interested in volunteering to mentor someone with a criminal conviction? MentorMe staff provide free, fun, engaging, high quality training and supervision to ensure that our mentors feel empowered, well supported and part of a team. Mentors need to be reliable, understanding, patient, and empathetic but do not need to be experts – life experience and a good sense of humour are more important!
