Volunteering

By becoming a mentor with Unfold you will be contributing to supporting those who often face exclusion. This is because, although we are open to everyone, 85% of the families we support are single headed households led by a woman, 93% of our service users are from racialised groups, 60% of our referrals come from other supporting services and in the last 18 months, we expanded and adapted our services to support Afghan evacuees and asylum seekers.

You will be welcomed into the family of Unfold, giving you the opportunity to further your mentoring experience by supporting at group and community events allowing you to gain direct experience of the need for mentors and the amazing impact your volunteering is having in the community.

With 89% of the young people we work with saying that having a mentor has improved their life, your skills and experiences are needed and will have a positive impact.

With the opportunity to be a mentor for a young person on our Asylum Seeker programme, you will be a welcoming and reliable person of support in often difficult and challenging times, supporting the navigation of achieving goals in new environment
