ReachOut is a mentoring charity working with children in disadvantaged communities to raise aspirations and help them grow in character and competence.
We improve self-confidence and develop Numeracy, Literacy and Communication Skills, whilst reinforcing our core values of Fairness, Self-Control, Good Judgement and Staying Power.
We do this through one-to-one mentoring with positive role models and team activities, to promote leadership, trust and responsibility.
ReachOut runs mentoring projects for young people in schools across London and the North-West. Mentees are referred by schools for one or more of the following reasons: they have low academic attainment, low confidence or self-esteem, present challenging behaviour, or because their teachers believe they would benefit from an additional role model. Each project involves weekly mentoring sessions through the academic year involving one-to-one academic & non-academic activities with volunteer mentors, group activities with mentors and young people, and extracurricular activities such as multi-sports, drama and arts and crafts.
