🍕 Big thanks to Sourdough Joe for hosting our pizza-making workshop! A fun, hands-on session where mentees got stuck in, got creative, and made their own delicious dinner.

Shaping dough and building confidence - one slice at a time.

You may not have realised, but May was National Walking Month! 🚶‍♀️

Some of the most powerful mentoring moments happen on a simple walk - side by side, no pressure, just space to feel heard.

A dog is a bonus 🐾💚

It’s nearly the end of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💚

Looking after your mental health doesn’t have to be big or perfect. Small steps count.

Try our Self-Care Bingo and tick off what you can - you deserve care too.

Bouncing into Confidence!

A MAPS Mentee brought along her own board game to play with her Mentor at our MAPS social! 🎲🙌

Having a Mentor creates a safe space to share ideas, be creative, and build confidence. 🎨💚
