Young people need support and a listening ear from someone who will not judge or condemn them for the choices they make.

What is this service?

Today's young people need to know that somebody cares and is willing to give up time for them.

Your experiences and willingness to give back may be a lifeline for a young person.

Helping them to work through issues and life's challenges is a vital part of the mentor's role and can be incredibly rewarding for both the young person and the mentor.

We establish an action plan with the young person and can provide a range of services to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to overcome some of the challenges they face and fulfill their potential. These include:

​Mentoring and coaching

  • Skills development

  • Team building activities

  • Enterprise and business development

  • Leadership Training

  • Work Experience

  • Up-cycling and salvage project

On the flip side, Oxygen is always looking for volunteers. We provide training to all mentors and ongoing support as you journey alongside a young person.

All mentors undergo an enhanced DBS check and vetting process. Age is not a barrier.

An ability to listen and encourage is essential!
