ReachOut is a mentoring charity that gives young people from disadvantaged backgrounds weekly one-to-one support from a volunteer mentor.
We help them to develop their character, raise aspirations and improve their Academic attainment through long-term one-to-one mentoring to help them achieve their potential and go on to lead good, happy and successful lives.
ReachOut Home is our new online mentoring programme developed as a response to COVID-19. ReachOut Home supports our young people’s emotional wellbeing, with a particular focus on character education and building skills to navigate our ‘new normal’.

WE BELIEVE THAT CHARACTER STRENGTHS HELP PEOPLE TO GO ONTO LIVE BETTER LIVES
A person’s character is made up of personal qualities, or character strengths, that give us the ability to make good decisions and then carry them out consistently. We teach our young people about four simple, character strengths that enable them to make good choices and go on to lead good, happy and successful lives.
Staying Power
resilience, grit, the ability to stick at something, to honour commitments, to see tasks through to the end.
Self-Control
the ability to keep emotions in check and to choose to act (or not to act) in a certain way despite how we may feel.
Fairness
to treat others with respect and empathy, honouring rights and responsibilities, and being honest.
Good Judgement
the ability to consider consequences and make decisions that benefit both ourselves AND those affected by our choice.
