Led by the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation (MBF), Supporting Life’s Journeys aims to unite more than 3,500 projects behind a three-month programme of activities to raise awareness of the benefits of mentoring and befriending.
The MBF is asking organisations that run these types of schemes to sign up to the campaign on their website, and take part in a national survey to show that mentoring and befriending provide a real return on investment.
"In these difficult economic times, we must make the strongest possible case that mentors and befrienders are an invaluable resource who make a real difference to people’s lives and help to ease pressure on public services," said MBF’s chief executive Steve Matthews. "This means getting involved to raise awareness of the benefits locally and to join together to help build a national picture."
