Our Story 

The Mentor Ring is a community-based charity supporting individuals through mentoring and guiding people of all ages and backgrounds, helping them to overcome significant barriers to social inclusion.

We believe that no individual should be excluded from active participation in employment, training, education, community life or social activities because of cultural, language, physical, mental or emotional health issues.

Our Mission

The Mentor Ring provides customized mentoring programs focused on education, employment, health, and community cohesion.

We combine personalized support with engaging group activities, empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and succeed. Through interactive workshops, skill-building sessions, community events, and health initiatives, we foster social inclusion, enhance well-being, and build a strong sense of belonging across communities in both Wales and England.
