New SEND mentoring project in Crawley, Horsham & Mid-Sussex

Tori_Scope

YMCA East Surrey have launched a new SEND mentoring project called Y Impact, providing mentoring support for young people aged 11 to 18 with mild to moderate learning difficulties in Crawley, Horsham & Mid-Sussex.

Y Impact provides a safe, fun and informal environment to support young people in one-to-one and group sessions.

Sessions aim to help young people to:

• Tackle isolation and make new friends
• Engage in the wider community
• Improve communication and other life skills
• Develop more positive relationships with people at school or college and at home

Our friendly, qualified and experienced adult mentors specialise in supporting young people with disabilities to grow in confidence and personal aspiration.

We run both online and in-person sessions providing a safe space for young people who need a bit of extra help and encouragement. Our group sessions give young people the chance to talk to others with similar experiences, take part in fun activities and build friendships with others.
