Funding: Camden Borough Council
Aim: To steer young people away from antisocial behaviour Children and young people in Camden who are at risk of getting into trouble are getting help to stay on track thanks to a mentoring scheme in the borough.
The Camden Young People's Mentoring Project works with young people aged eight to 18 who are either young offenders or are at risk of offending or getting involved in antisocial behaviour.
Matching mentors with young people on a one-to-one basis, the project involves weekly meetings of between one and four hours for at least six months. Mentors help the young people by developing their interests, helping them to spend their free time in a positive way, getting them back into education, training or employment and boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
