Bournemouth Mentoring Circles
A place to belong, a space to be yourself. Mentoring circles for boys aged 13 to 15 in Bournemouth. No pressure, no judgement. Held by trained, DBS-checked male mentors.
We meet every other Thursday at Winton Recreation Ground
Mentors and boys meet around the fire every other week. The circle is a place to say what is going on in your life and be heard without judgement or expectation. Boys who come regularly are invited to the Rites of Passage Adventure in spring and autumn.
Next mentoring circle: , 7 to 9pm
Winton Recreation Ground
24 Fitzharris Avenue, Winton, Bournemouth BH9 1BX
