MCR Pathways launches new campaign "What's Stopping You?"

Supporting young people in the UK has never been more important. Through no fault of their own, care-experienced and young people facing challenges are affected by a significant gap in outcomes compared to their peers. They aren’t reaching their potential—but mentoring can change that.

Just one hour a week with a consistent, caring adult can boost confidence, academic performance and open doors to a brighter future.

MCR Pathways new campaign "What's Stopping You?" addresses common concerns and misconceptions that often prevent people from registering: the time required, concerns about life experience, worries about the skills required and doubts about the impact of mentoring. As fellow Dundee and Angus Chamber memebers, your support can help us address these concerns and inspire more people in our community to become mentors.  

We have an accompanying Campaign Resource Kit

With this toolkit, we can spread the word about MCR Pathways and the ‘What’s Stopping You?’ campaign to help break down these barriers that prevent people signing up to become a volunteer mentor. With your help, we can connect more young people with the support they need to thrive and make a positive impact in their lives.

We encourage you to share the campaign in any way you can, using the copy prompts, digital assets and printed media provided. Don’t forget to tag us in your social media posts using @MCRPathways and use our hashtag #ChangeALife so we can share and amplify your support. Together, we can change the lives of young people in our communities.
