National charity celebrates young peer mentors

SHINE is the national festival celebrating all the talents in all young people, taking place from 6-10 July 2009

Throughout SHINE week, national charity The Mentoring & Befriending Foundation (MBF) will be celebrating the work of its nationwide network of over 29,000 young peer mentors with special assemblies and award presentations.

Every day children across the UK shine in their role of peer mentors in school. These remarkable young people volunteer to give up their free time to support others by hosting drop-in lunch time clubs, one-to-one peer mentoring sessions or by just being ‘around' if anyone needs a listening ear.
