PARTICIPATING CHARITY //

Mentoring Plus is a local youth charity in Bath that supports young people struggling with education, family, isolation or emotional harm. They train and match adult volunteers to mentor 7-21 year olds from their community one to one. Mentors introduce new ideas, build confidence and wellbeing, and help achieve precious potential.

"Mentoring Plus are teaming up with Bath Marches for the third year in a row and appealing for people to sign up and help raise vital funds for the charity in order that they can reach more vulnerable young people with their mentoring programs and activities. The marches is a fantastic day out which the whole family can get involved in with well-marked out routes, snack stops, great company and beautiful landscapes to discover.

One of our previous walkers and mentors said ‘I did the walk firstly because I love hiking but more importantly because I wanted to support a worthy cause. It was a wonderful hike in the south Cotswolds and the day was made all the better by the informative cultural and historical talks. Added to this, clement weather, some excellent company, a surprising lack of blisters and a good pint at the end made it a thoroughly decent day."
