Bristol Mentoring Circles
A place to belong, a space to be yourself. Mentoring circles for boys aged 13 to 19 in Bristol. No pressure, no judgement. Held by trained, DBS-checked male mentors.
We meet every other Monday at Boiling Wells
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. Some boys talk from the first night, others settle in over time. Both are welcome.
Next mentoring circle: , 7 to 9pm
Boiling Wells Amphitheatre
Boiling Wells Lane, Bristol BS2 9XY
Optional £5 donation towards the running costs
“No matter whether I feel exhausted or have a lot on, after finishing a group with the boys, I am always glad I came.”
“I knew all of me was welcome there. I didn't have to hide anything. That's why I kept coming back for two years”
