What We Do

The Wise Group Relational Mentoring project is led by the Wise Group, with the following delivery partners: Anxious Minds; Building Futures East; JET North; Justice Prince CIC; Meadow Well Connected; and Reviving the Heart of the West End.  

This project provides relational mentoring to economically inactive residents who are over the age of 16 and live in the Newcastle and North Tyneside areas, to help them move towards and into employment.  

Relational Mentoring offers 1:1 wrap-around support and activities to address the varied and complex barriers that prevent many people from securing and sustaining quality employment.   

Activities include household budgeting, mental and physical health support and work and social skills, as well as traditional employability support such as cv writing, job searching and interview preparation, to help residents take positive steps towards employment. Relational Mentoring started on 1st July 2023 and will deliver until March 2025.  

This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
