Mentor Link which supports distressed and vulnerable children and young people has secured new funding from Redditch and Bromsgrove children’s charity, Oakland Foundation.
Agreeing to support the work of Mentor Link in Redditch, the Foundation will now fund Mentor Link’s work with a local young person in Redditch or Bromsgrove for the coming year.
Mentor Link Chief Executive Andrea Maddocks MBE commented: “Many thanks to the Oakland Foundation for supporting Mentor Link which provides one to one support to vulnerable and distressed children. The demand for our services is very high this year, so financial support is vital in ensuring that these children obtain a prompt and professional service when needed. For further information about our services to children, see our website www.mentorlink.org.uk.”
Working with community stakeholders, schools and youth organisations, the Foundation is looking to extend support youth initiatives with the council, local businesses and community and voluntary groups.
