September 20, 2017 By Rebecca White

Becky wants to be a Peer Volunteer Tenancy Mentor. Can you help her?

This is Becky.  She’s pretty awesome.  We’ve known her since she was 19 and she’s now 21.  Becky was in care in Norfolk and now at 21 finds herself without a leaving care worker and making her way in the world.  And like so many of the young people we work with, she’s doing a pretty good job of it.

Becky loves to work.  She’s been in work in the care industry since we’ve known her.  Despite the toughness of the hours, short-term contracts, not always being treated brilliantly, she has stuck at it.  What a role-model she is for other young people coming out of the care system, about which we some so many awful things.

As part of her aspiration to be a nurse, Becky wants to work with young people.  Due to her age, background and experience to date, she is finding this really hard.  Since we’ve know her she’s wanted to be a Volunteer Tenancy Mentor – and at last she’s old enough.

We would be so proud to have her in this role, it would make her CV look great and she’d be supporting a younger care-leaver for whom she would be the most amazing role-model.

Is there a business that is prepared to sponsor her?  She will need to attend the Volunteer Tenancy Mentoring two-day training package, have a DBS check and be supported by us for at least a year whilst mentoring a young person.  This will cost £300.

Anyone prepared to support her will be doing something amazing for Becky and for a future ‘Becky’.

We will of course recognise your contribution in the these ways.
