✨Our next extremely popular DACC123 will be hosted with MCR Pathways and Dundee Science Centre✨

We invite our members to connect with businesses from across the region. Our DACC123s offer the ideal chance to network with other members while taking advantage of a local company's hospitality. You may network and form new relationships with business people across Dundee & Angus over lunch.

We'll break into smaller groups after lunch to discuss critical business issues for our members. As this months DACC123's topic is Mentoring, you can expect questions such as "In what way do you think volunteer mentors also benefit from the programme?".

Susan Buglass from MCR Pathways will join us and tell us a little bit about what they do and how we can help support their mentoring programme.

MCR Pathways:

MCR Pathways was founded in 2007 to address the gap in life-chances and educational outcomes, between care-experienced young people and their peers. The MCR charity was established to support young people who have experienced disadvantage and help them realise their full potential through education. We do this through our school-based mentoring programme – matching young people with a fully-trained volunteer mentor. 

Our journey began in St Andrew’s Secondary school, in the East End of Glasgow, where we developed the programme over 5 years. The evidence that MCR mentoring made a huge difference on young people’s confidence and engagement with school was soon overwhelming. The programme is now operating in multiple local authorities, nationwide.

Our vision is that every care-experienced young person, or those who have experienced disadvantage, get the same education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances as every other young person.
