APS directory

APS logo
The online APS directory lists projects that have achieved the national quality standard for mentoring and befriending projects, the Approved Provider Standard.  The standard is a recognised benchmark for organisations providing one-to-one, volunteer mentoring or befriending and aims to provide programmes with a badge of competence and safe practice in mentoring or befriending.

The online APS directory can be used to:
  • Search for other mentoring and befriending APS approved projects in your area or with a similar client group to network and share good practice with
  • Contact quality mentoring or befriending projects to find out about potential volunteering opportunities
  • Find out about potential mentoring and befriending projects to refer clients to

Volunteering projects not listed may be found on the do-it website.

To find out how to apply for the APS standard and appear in the online APS directory, take a look at the APS section of the website.
