CACT Mentoring

Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) offers mentoring that aims to help steer young people (aged 11-18 or up to 25 for those with SEND) away from risky behaviours, exploitation, or being drawn into criminal activity.

We match young people with someone who understands the range of struggles that they may be facing and give them the chance to speak about those struggles in an informal, non-judgemental environment.

Our experienced mentors can help at-risk young people, first-time offenders, prolific offenders, and those at risk of custodial sentences. We offer regular one-to-one support, over the course of 3-6 months.

*Please note. CACT is currently unable to take any further referrals for this service due to the very high demand. There is a considerable waiting list for this service and CACT is working hard to reduce the size of the list. We are aiming to reopen the referral function but this date is TBC. Until then, if you have a young person who is in crisis and urgently needs support then please email joanna.nelson@cact.org.uk. Joanna will then liaise with our mentoring team to see if a provision can be offered. Or request a call back from a member of our team https://www.young-greenwich.org.uk/contact-us
