Group Mentoring

You’ll be invited to join an initial group mentoring session 2 weeks before our programme officially starts on Tuesday 12th July. During this session, we’ll be joined by a special guest who will deliver an inspirational talk. After our programme launches, the peer led group mentoring sessions will begin.
