CAN Mentoring Project

The CAN project helps 16-25 year olds from Newcastle and Gateshead who may require support to transition into adulthood or make steps towards improving their confidence and reducing isolation. CAN aim to support young adults to overcome any barriers affecting them to move forward in their lives.

A mentor programme with a difference, it connects them with someone who can provide assistance tailored to their needs and ambitions. In the past, the programme has helped young people to:

• access different support services to improve their living situation

• settle into independent living

• attend community activities they did not feel confident to participate in alone

• identify positive ways to grow their social networks

• explore their hopes and goals for the future
