Welcome to the

Charity Mentoring Network

We’re so happy to have you on board. Mentoring is going to have an incredibly positive impact on your people.

Let's make it happen

Welcome pack

This welcome pack will help you ensure the mentoring programme is a success within your organisation. You’ll be pleased to know that the set up of the platform has all been done for you. All you need to do is invite your people to sign up to it.

As we know with anything, people might need more than one gentle reminder from time to time. That’s why, with the help of our partners at Pushfar, we’ve created a Marketing Guide, Email Templates, Posters, Quotes/Statistics and more. Be sure to check these out and share them as relevant in all of the channels that you use regularly, whether it be email, Microsoft Teams or even a good old toilet door poster.

You’ll also find FAQs which will hopefully answer any remaining questions you may have about the system and where to head if you need further support.
