Impact Stories

Harvey

Harvey was struggling to deal with Primary school and found himself in a downward spiral.  Thankfully, his teacher made a referral to Go! Youth Trust to have him paired with Penny one of our volunteer mentors and things started to change.

Maureen

Maureen began volunteering with Go! Youth Trust in 2018 when she started coming along to the after school club at Langlees Primary School. After hearing about more of our programmes through friends, she decided to become a mentor as well.

Zach

Zach was having trouble maintaining relationships with pupils and teachers while at school.

This led to Zach’s school attendance being really poor and, when he did attend, he would often find himself struggling and getting angry.  Zach’s mum had been sending him along to Go! Youth Trust residentials and drop-ins since we was at Primary School and asked if he could join our mentoring programme.

Since being matched with his mentor, Ethan, Zach’s life is slowly being transformed.  He is achieving qualifications that he never thought would be possible and has learned new coping mechanisms to deal with some of the tougher situations that he experiences.
