Norwich Mentoring Circles

A place to belong, a space to be yourself. Mentoring circles for boys aged 15 to 17 in Norwich. No pressure, no judgement. Held by trained, DBS-checked male mentors.

We meet every other Monday at 1st Norwich Sea Scouts

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
