LifeLine Projects - Impacting individuals, influencing systems

The power of mentoring: a personal reflection

Most of us have had someone who helped shape who we are today. For me, that person was my mentor. Mentors can be family members, friends, or colleagues, yet they often go unnoticed—true unsung heroes in our lives. National Mentoring Day is a chance to celebrate the achievements of both mentors and mentees. It’s also a great reminder to reflect on the impact of mentoring and how it impacts young people, communities and organisations like LifeLine Projects.

Case Study: Creative English

Creative English, a programme developed by Dr Anne Smith from our FaithAction team, uses games and roleplay to build confidence in speaking English in everyday situations, such as talking to neighbours, teachers, doctors and landlords. By bringing people together through shared fun, it helps them make friends, find a place of belonging, and become a active member of their local community.

Providing stability in our communities

In previous pieces, I’ve often discussed the importance of embracing change, as life constantly presents new challenges. Change can help us to grow and adapt, but stability also plays a vital role in ensuring long-term wellbeing. Stability is about maintaining a steady course, making sure that we have systems in place to prevent too many unexpected disruptions.
