Testimonials

"I found the organisation to be professionals proficient they are very capable of engaging a large group of young people from two different estates with varying demographics and a history of anti-social behaviour, they are also capable of working under minimal supervision to dynamically structured sessions where young people could come along to express themselves creatively in a safe and welcoming space."

"Elaine of The Mentoring Lab is the Opogo community expert providing a current and updated overview of mentoring, development sessions, blogs and webinars regarding working with young people and adults to prevent underachievement in their learning or careers.

"I was present when The Mentoring Lab ran an employability programme last year at Ingram Court. The teams' ability to engage the hardest to reach residents was extraordinary. There were some real measurable outcomes that came out of the programme and its structure was both beneficial in terms of raising aspirations and accessing resources coupled with being flexible enough to cater for individual needs. I would strongly recommend. "

"The Mentoring Lab has been responsible for the design and implementation of an extremely successful Summer Activities programme for Futureversity in Greenwich for the past two years. They have demonstrated great skill and determination to deliver a programme which has far exceeded the expectations of both commissioners and Futureversity."

"I would like to start off by saying, a big thank you for my son who had received so much information! It was such a blessing and appreciate your time and effort. We took away much more than expected which motivates me and my son to continue using other services you may have to offer and to also let others know of the great work you and your team are putting in to help young teenagers be inspired, learning new skills, also confidence building to go on being a better version of themselves. Thank you. "

"I've had a really good experience and I think everyone should join as you can learn new things whilst having fun. All of the mentors are my favourite I can't pick because everyone is really nice!"

"I like taking part in the Mentoring Lab activities because it keeps me busy and I have learnt a few things over the lockdown period. Its helped me become more flexible with new situations and made me more confident speaking to people I may have not met before."

"I feel like I have had a good experience especially with lockdown, I have been given the opportunity to get help with things I can't do on my own. I have been provided with the resources to aid me with my studies that some of my friends did not have."

"They are a delightful hardworking team who helps you with different aspects of learning and life in general. Personally I feel that it has helped me learn how to learn online and work ahead."

"Micayla is really enjoying being able to do something she loves during this challenging and difficult time. If the children are not able to return to school till September, I hope these classes will continue. Thanks again. "
