Volunteering Matters, formerly known as CSV, is a national charity leading UK volunteering in policy and practice. The organisation has over 50 years of experience running volunteer programmes which support families, young people, disabled and vulnerable adults and isolated older people.
Funded by the Department for Education through Norwich Opportunity Area, Norwich Community Mentors help young people and their families to look beyond existing barriers and raise aspirations to achieve both educational and career goals.
Our project staff pair volunteer mentors with young people at three key transition stages:
- Year 6 moving to secondary school
- Year 9 selecting GCSE options
- Year 11 transitioning from full-time education to employment, education or training
Volunteers receive full training, support and expenses from a dedicated project officer throughout.
