Practitioners required to help respond to national consultations

One of MBF's main aims is to be the ‘voice’ of the mentoring and befriending sector, representing practitioners views to government and other political parties.

To assist MBF in this objective of influencing government, other political parties and key stakeholders, we are looking for practitioners to join one of four sector reference groups currently being set up. The groups will cover four sectors:
  • Children, young people and families
  • Health and social care
  • Offender related
  • Community cohesion

The groups will respond to national consultations related to mentoring, befriending and volunteering in general via email on an ad hoc basis.
