Mentoring
NCGS offer Mentoring programs for young people, who need guidance and confidence building. Our aim is to enable those whom we come into contact with to give them the tools to help make decisions that will allow them to achieve balance within their lives.
Our programs are structured to fit individual needs, and our Mentors are all qualified in their subject matter CRB checked, with years of expertise as well as personal experiences, this unique approach enables the mentee to relax and relay information in an informal setting, without feeling under pressure.

More about it
It is an effective way of helping people to progress in their life and is becoming increasingly popular as its potential is realised. It is a partnership between two people (mentor and client) often sharing similar experiences. It is a helpful relationship based upon mutual trust and respect.
Our programs will be delivered from the Old Library Hub situated in West Norwood, where we have access to an IT suite and other initiatives within the Hub. Our intention is to create an environment of opportunities for young people, to broaden their horizons, enabling self esteem.
NCGS Mentoring group ethos is as follows:
Employment, Crime Reduction and worklessness
Life Coaching with a focus on individual Personal Coaching
Mentoring, Out-of-School Time, In-School Initiatives
Motivational Interviewing
Why Mentoring?
With increasing seniority comes more and more ambiguity and complexity – and less and less support to deal with them. Our mentoring programme supports you on today’s challenges whilst equipping you for tomorrow.
Mentoring enables you to:
Realign your goals and your work
Increase your performance
Develop your capabilities and personal awareness
Boost your confidence and enjoyment
Raise your motivation and sharpen your focus
Improve your impact on others
Mentoring – what we do
The exact shape and flow of every mentoring assignment is as different as each client but all will include helping you:
Identify what is at the heart of your issues
Articulate clearly what you want
Understand your part in the way things are
Examine your options for moving forward
Create and deliver achievable plans for reaching your goals
Mentoring – how it works
Like all our services this can be tailored to meet your needs. It takes the form of a mentoring package which includes:
An introductory session at which your issues and needs are identified and you make a decision about whether to proceed
Four coaching sessions of 60-90 minutes each, spaced to suit you
Unlimited e-mail support between sessions
An evaluation of success against your goals
Let’s Talk
The easiest way to understand how we can help, and whether you feel that you could work with us, is to begin with a conversation.
We don’t believe in a “hard sell” and often find that people get value out of the exploratory discussion – whether or not we go on to work together.
