Mentoring Aspirations Plus

Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, the MAP project aims to support young people aged 8-18 in care, leaving care or on a child protection plan to develop their life skills, support their learning and training and improve their resilience and self-esteem.

We want to give young people the vital skills required to secure sustainable employment, stability at school and a safe home life.
