Benefits of membership to the MBF

The Mentoring and Befriending Foundation offers a comprehensive membership programme to all individuals and organisations involved in mentoring or befriending.

For the member, this offers numerous benefits:
  • Information and research updates –  a monthly e-bulletin detailing key developments within government policy, the voluntary sector and new research
  • Full MBF resources and research – new members are entitled to £30 worth of free resources, as well as substantial discounts on other publications, DVDs and guides
  • Events opportunities – members are entitled to discounted fees to a range of workshops, training programmes and our national conference
  • MBF's own magazine “Rapport” – published three times a year, full colour feature magazine is sent free of charge to all members
  • Lobbying – MBF will lobby and influence government policy on your behalf

Here is what MBF members have said about membership benefits:

"I work in a project that is trying to reduce unemployment in London; I'm a member because it has enabled me to attend workshops and meet co-workers from similar projects"
Charity Worker, London

"The e-bulletin is a membership feature for me, I find it useful and it helps keep me up to date"
Business Education Advisor, North East

"We pay our membership so that we belong to a national body - it shows that mentoring is recognised seriously e.g. the Approved Provider Standard"
Young People, North West
