Lochaber Hope Mentoring
Lochaber Hope offers mentor support to individuals, agencies and employers. Mentors work flexibly, usually meeting their mentees once a week for an hour.
How Does It Work?
Mentors get alongside individuals or groups and help them work towards their goals or to overcome vulnerable or crisis periods in their lives. Mentoring is easy accessible, comfortable and confidential. Disabled access is available. If you feel you would benefit from being matched with a mentor, or would like to volunteer, please get in touch.
