About our cause
Based in the heart of South London, Croydon, Ment4 has been impacting the lives of 11-18 year olds for the past 13 years. In 2009, the Youth Charity was set up to support vulnerable kids with emotional and behaviour needs. Working with them for a period of 4-6 months at a time. 325 young people later and we are still going...
With some of our key funding streams ending in 2022, we are calling on your financial support in order to provide free mentoring for as many young people in Croydon as possible. Buying a ticket today willl contribute to our target.
"London is undergoing a crisis concerning the vulnerability and safety of our youth. Where the glamorisation of drugs and violence is more prevalent than ever, criminal exploitation is on the rise. Ment4 is a specialist mentoring organisation focuses on empowering young people away from this harsh realities. Help us acheieve our mission."
Luke Peters, Executive Director
What Do We Do ?
Ment4 provides one-to-one, specialist mentoring for 11 to 18 year olds with emotional and behavioural difficulties based in and around Croydon. We help those vulnerable to crime, non-attending or excluded from schools, those judged as particularly vulnerable by Children's Social Care, and direct referrals from families.
How We Help?
Mentors will spend 5-10 hours a week with each young person, in order to identify causes of problems and behaviour responses. This time is also used to establish meaningful connection and build rapport. A 'goal plan' is drawn up for each young person and progress towards those goals are reported in weekly reports sent to the referrer. In that way they will have a detailed picture of the issues and progress throughout.
Mentors become a 'trusted adult' in the young person's life, becoming a supportive representative on the young person's behalf whilst working alongside the parent, school, peers, and other agencies. The mentor serves as a role model, inspiring the young person with new perspective and opportunities through their own life experiences.
Our Moral & Inclusive Approach
Ment4 has built a reputation as a leading, tried and trusted professional service, used by youth justice, educational and social care agencies in local government and the third sector. It supports young people of all beliefs and social groupings and provides mentor support without bias or agenda. Its Trustees and Board hold to a Christian faith and believe that this provides a valuable moral framework for the work of its team. In a society where there is concern over radicalisation for harm and abuse, the morals with which it works are the true opposite. In much the same way as the great Christian reformers founded education and social welfare, so too, our team seek to provide positive encouragement and guidance to bring hope and new opportunities. The true heart of the Christian ethos is non-violent acceptance of all, where there is no condemnation, but only an expressed value for every human being.
