LVN is proud to be part of the @MayorofLondon New Deal for Young People, providing life-changing mentoring support for over 100,000 young Londoners #NewDealforYoungPeople’

Mentoring can be life-changing for a young person, building their confidence and supporting them to achieve their potential. Funding from City Hall and @LDN_VRU has reached 100,000 young people most in need of support and helped divert them away from exploitation and harm.

100,000 young Londoners in need have been linked up with mentors thanks to funding from City Hall and my @LDN_VRU. This crucial support, that young people most in need might not find at home or at school, helps them build confidence, achieve their potential and keep them safe from harm.

This year, by attending our ‘Amplify Me’ mentoring programmes, LVN were able to co-ordinate work experience for 70 of our students. Our students got to gain experience at different organisations, in different job roles and departments. Thank you to all involved! #lvn
