Some things your mentor may be able to help with are:
- Housing
- Finance

Next steps
We will contact you and arrange to meet you. We may also talk with your support worker. When we have had a chance to meet you we hope we will be able to look for a suitable volunteer mentor, based on their interests and yours
Each mentor will be supervised by an experienced person from Bridging the Gap Islington. We suggest an initial meeting with between you, mentor and supervisor. You and the mentor can get to meet, agree on at least one goal and agree a routine of regular meetings
We will make our best effort but we do not guarantee to be able to arrange a mentoring partnership. Please note that it may take some weeks before we are able to suggest a mentor. During this time, we will keep you regularly informed.
