Inspiring Young Lives

Mentoring Plus

We're an independent charity supporting young people aged 5 to 25 across Bath & North East Somerset who are facing challenges at home or at school.

Through tailored mentoring, inclusive youth clubs, and inspiring activities, we help them feel safe, heard, and hopeful for their future.
