Volunteering Matters
Grandmentors is a nationwide project delivered by Volunteering Matters – a national charity. We provide mentors who are over the age of 50 to young people aged 16-24 who are in care or have left the care system. We provide training and support to volunteers. Grandmentors offer practical and emotional support to young people at a crucial time in their lives as they transition from care to living independently.
