Search the online APS directory for quality assured projects

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.
