Chance UK provides one-to-one mentoring for children aged 5-11 with behavioural difficulties. Their mentors work in a solution focused way to improve children’s self esteem via activities such as games in the park, visiting museums or anything the child may be interested in.
Their mission is to identify primary school children with behavioural difficulties who are at risk of developing anti-social or criminal offending behaviour in the future, and to offer them one-to-one mentoring with a carefully screened, trained and supervised adult volunteer. They also offer support to the children’s parents and/or carers.
Chance UK’s objectives are
· to introduce stability into the children’s lives;
· to reduce social isolation;
· to directly address the difficulties experienced by each child;
· to support the children as they progress;
· to channel disruptive energy into worthwhile projects;
· to encourage a sense of personal achievement;
· to engender a sense of self-worth.
Chance UK is an award-winning registered charity (Charity Registration No. 1046947). They are one of only six organisations in the UK to be re-awarded GoldStar status by the Cabinet Office as an exemplar of good practice in mentoring and befriending.
