"Mentoring
and befriending are incredibly powerful vehicles for empowering people.
Volunteering as a mentor or befriender is a valuable and worthwhile
use of time, which is hugely appreciated by those receiving advice and
support."
"People are often put off the idea of being a mentor or befriender by thinking 'what can I offer?' when, actually, they have years of experience and knowledge. I know from personal experience how the simple act of offering tips, advice and companionship to people, who may have had a tough time but want to get on in life, can be utterly life changing."
Jeremy Milnes is a trained actor, drama teacher and communication, confidence and assertiveness trainer. He has spent 20 years as a drama teacher and has volunteered as a learning mentor in schools. Most recently he presented The Bachelor on BBC3 and was the personal mentor on Fame Academy.
