I got myself into some trouble when I was younger. I went through a phase and went down the wrong path. I had some things I knew I needed to address and the Harrow mentoring scheme helped me todo it.

For me, all I needed was to have someone to speak to, someone to guide me, who I could trust and
confide in. I had been getting into trouble and been involved in fights. I knew I had made mistakes, but I wanted to move on from it.

You can’t change the past, but this mentoring scheme helped me get to where I am now. I couldn’t have done it without them.

I’m working part-time and studying business management at university. I have plans now. I am so grateful, it helped me a lot.

I would recommend it to anyone – you won’t get a better opportunity. It was what I needed to make changes and move on. It is flexible too, so you can decide how often you would like to meet up and what you talk about.
