We would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who participated in this years #NoWrongPath Campaign.

We loved seeing everyone get involved and tagging us on their socials!

What a great way to help inspire young people as they received their results and let them know that there's #NoWrongPath.

Mentoring a young person can have a life-changing impact and is an invaluable way for young people to develop the skills, confidence and aspirations they need for their future success. It also raises awareness of your organisation with local young people and schools

If your business or organisation is interested in mentoring then this workshop can help you. It was designed in partnership with MCR Pathways and Career Ready to aid employers looking to learn about the introduction of mentoring young people in their organisations.
