Summary:
The SOVA Nottingham Children’s Mentoring Project started in April 2009 as part of the Nottingham ‘Early Intervention City’ programme. It aimed to provide six months of mentoring for children aged 8-12 by adult volunteers. It was to work with children who were experiencing difficulties in their life and at risk of getting entangled in criminal activity or anti-social behaviours such as drug or alcohol misuse. Over 80% of the children who received mentoring achieved one or more of their personal goals.
