Privilege to address a conference rammed with motivated, committed & resilient people dedicated to finding ways to support those that need our help the most. Fundraisers are the absolute engine room of our precious third sector. All power to you and to purpose

An article to start a discussion. Inevitable budgets cuts means we need to prioritise our resources to those that need our help the most. Talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. Those on the front line know where policy and practice don’t meet. They know what is needed.

Today marks the start of Scottish Careers Week! During this week, we celebrate the transformational difference of mentoring. Where only 59.8% of our young people previously went on to a Job, College or University, now 81.6% do. #ScotCareersWeek23

Trusting relationships power individuals to develop & achieve. Great to hear Bridget Phillipson talk about them with young people, parents & families. Learning is human, not just a right but determines job choices & life chances. Time to have education & the love of it centre stage

The maths don't work with reducing budgets and increasing needs. It’s time for our politicians to be honest and transparent. Our limited resources must be used to support those that need it most by those that know them best. Trust and relationships are the prerequisite.

Thank you to Glasgow mentor Zara Gladman for speaking out and raising awareness against Glasgow City Council planned cuts The Herald

Cuts in a crisis - A UK debate we need. If no way through Council funding crisis we need an honest and open debate. Read The Times article & question what is happening in & to your community. There are good people in local authorities but a system in which the maths don’t work.

Had successes, failed, made loads of mistakes. Mentoring is by far the best thing I have ever done. Watch the MCR Pathways film. One relationship that captures a little of how mentors can make but also experience a life changing impact.

Thanks Lady Rae for highlighting the devastating cost of failing our young people. They need 1:1 trusting relationships to help navigate education, career choices & life chances. Budget cuts should never determine lifetimes for our most vulnerable. @MCRPathways mentoring matters.

Budget cuts should never determine lifetimes for our most vulnerable. Mentoring matters to young people to find, grow & use their amazing talents. Your voice matters to make sure anyone who cuts support for those without voice has to think again. Our young people deserve better

Young people in care & those disadvantaged in any way deserve the best of us and the best we have to offer.  Budget cuts should never determine lifetimes. They need MCR 1:1 relationships in which they can trust, role models to help navigate education, job choices & life chances.

Visited No 10 but an hour after the election called. Whoever is the next tenant needs economic & social development as 2 sides of the same coin. Vote for 'Socionomics'. @MCRPathways mentor a young person to understand & to give voice to those with none. Their talent is immense.

Absolutely fantastic!! So much emotion, so much elation. It is amazing to see a young person realise their potential, their dreams. Our care experienced community is bursting with talent! Time to let it loose. Become an MCR Pathways mentor. An hour a week, a lifetime of impact.
