Do you have a passion for young people realising their potential against the odds? Does injustice motivate you? Can your skills help a charity set a world class example to influence system change? If this excites you please apply to make & experience a life changing difference.

Absolutely fantastic!! So much emotion, so much elation. It is amazing to see a young person realise their potential, their dreams. Our care experienced community is bursting with talent! Time to let it loose. Become an @mcrpathways mentor. An hour a week, a lifetime of impact.

Visited No 10 but an hour after the election called. Whoever is the next tenant needs economic & social development as 2 sides of the same coin. Vote for 'Socionomics'. @MCRPathways mentor a young person to understand & to give voice to those with none. Their talent is immense.

Young people in care & those disadvantaged in any way deserve the best of us and the best we have to offer.  Budget cuts should never determine lifetimes. They need MCR 1:1 relationships in which they can trust, role models to help navigate education, job choices & life chances.
James McEnaney@MrMcEnaney

Glasgow City Council has been warned that cuts to a city-wide mentoring scheme for young people will make the teaching workload crisis even worse. heraldscotland.com/news/24318503.…

Budget cuts should never determine lifetimes for our most vulnerable. Mentoring matters to young people to find, grow & use their amazing talents. Your voice matters to make sure anyone who cuts support for those without voice has to think again. Our young people deserve better

Thanks Lady Rae for highlighting the devastating cost of failing our young people. They need 1:1 trusting relationships to help navigate education, career choices & life chances. Budget cuts should never determine lifetimes for our most vulnerable. @MCRPathways mentoring matters.
James McEnaney@MrMcEnaney

One of Scotland's top judges has pleaded with Glasgow City Council to reverse cuts to MCR Pathways, a programme that she says keeps young people away from her courtroom. heraldscotland.com/news/24298537.…

Had successes, failed, made loads of mistakes. Mentoring is by far the best thing I have ever done. Watch the @MCRPathways film. One relationship that captures a little of how mentors can make but also experience a life changing impact.

Cuts in a crisis - A UK debate we need. If no way through Council funding crisis we need an honest and open debate. Read The Times article & question what is happening in & to your community. There are good people in local authorities but a system in which the maths don’t work.

'MCR mentoring relationships are making a life-changing difference. I know first hand. A young person I mentored went from living in a homeless unit while in school to now being a qualified doctor.' @idmacritchie @timesscotland @magnusllewellin

The maths don't work with reducing budgets and increasing needs. It’s time for our politicians to be honest and transparent. Our limited resources must be used to support those that need it most by those that know them best. Trust and relationships are the prerequisite.

Trusting relationships power individuals to develop & achieve. Great to hear @bphillipsonMP talk about them with young people, parents & families. Learning is human, not just a right but determines job choices & life chances. Time to have education & the love of it centre stage
Andy Cook@AndyCook_CSJ

Hugely important speech at ⁦@csjthinktank⁩ today with ⁦@bphillipsonMP⁩. She begins a new battle for ideas on education, as the Governments scale of response has so far be woefully short of matching the scale of need. Game on. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Gavin’s school journey has its challenges - missing classes and leaving early. Yet, with mentor Scott, everything changes and Gavin takes part for a full hour! Sometimes, all it takes is that one person who’s fully dedicated 🚀 #MentoringMatters

Today marks the start of Scottish Careers Week! During this week, we celebrate the transformational difference of mentoring. Where only 59.8% of our young people previously went on to a Job, College or University, now 81.6% do. #ScotCareersWeek23

An article to start a discussion. Inevitable budgets cuts means we need to prioritise our resources to those that need our help the most. Talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. Those on the front line know where policy and practice don’t meet. They know what is needed.
