Thefenerbahçe voleybol okulu nerede football club mentors keeping young people out of prison26 April 2024By Joe Sims, BBC Radio Bristol • Sarah Turnnidge, BBC News, BristolShareRobins FoundationBoth leaders of the programme had previously been mentored themselves "They're not doing one or two hours a week, they're doing 10, 15 sometimes 20 hours a week with these young people." That's the reality for staff at a mentoring programme run by Bristol City's charitable Robins Foundation, which works with some of the city's most vulnerable young people. But what makes ADD-Mentor special is that it's led by people who needed its help themselves. The team has now been honoured with a major award. Last month, in a ceremony at the Houses of Parliament, Bristol City and the Robins Foundation collected EFL Community Project of the Season for its leading mentoring programme. ADD-Mentor works with young people in Bristol identified by the police as being as being at risk of going to prison, and offers them support. Robins Foundation chief development officer James Edwards, who secured funding for the project, spoke to the BBC alongside Sam Downes, who runs the scheme with Jade Bailey.What gives Jade and Sam a unique insight into the problems faced by young people in Bristol is the fact they were both once supported by James too. "I was one of those kids on the street causing ASB (anti-social behaviour) and stuff, doing things that I shouldn't have been doing," said Sam, now 31. He was mentored by James from the age of around nine to 15, and told the BBC that it was the long-term approach of mentoring that stopped him from getting into more serious trouble. "It wasn't just we were going in and out, it was 'actually we're going to work and make this work', and that probably made the difference," he said. Robins FoundationThe ADD-Mentor programme was given a major award in March James had such a significant impact on Sam's life that many years later he was asked to be best man at Sam's wedding, a moment he describes as "probably one of of the proudest moments of my life". "When Jade and Sam speak to these young people, they aren't people that came from university and speak a different language, they speak and can relate to these young people in a way no one else can," said James. "They aren't judges, they don't say 'you shouldn't be doing this, you should be doing that' - they just listen." ADD-Mentor is focused on getting young people into a wide range of activities they might not otherwise have access to - be it cooking, running or football.Jade and Sam not only find their mentees activities, they also help with transport and stay to support the young people through the sessions. But they're also on hand to help with the "small bits" as James explains, even getting them to school or taking them to get their hair cut. "Jade and Same have both had examples of the young person phoning them in the morning to day 'can you come and take me to school because my mum's drunk?'," he said."They fill in the gaps that probably you'd expect parents to do. [Maybe] the young person wants to go to school, it's just he hasn't got that support mechanism at home to do it. "This is where we're opening up these windows and these opportunities and making people understand what's actually happening in the community."More on this storyCEO who is a 'light' for young people is honouredMusic mentorship scheme searching for new talent'Mentoring scheme showed me right way to live'Related internet linksRobins FoundationBedminsterBristolYoung peopleRelatedTrees cut down for underground river restoration3 days agoBristolDriver drowned after crashing car into river4 days agoUnderground section of river could be unearthed5 days agoBristolMore1 hr agoPolice powers increased after Easton knife attackOfficers say 11 men have now been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over the incident.1 hr agoBristol4 hrs agoArmed police respond to Keynsham knife attackPolice say patrols will be increased in the area after the incident, which led to one arrest.4 hrs agoBristol5 hrs agoAssault involving group 'with blade' in BristolPolice appeal for witnesses after a teenage boy is taken to hospital with an arm wound.5 hrs agoBristol8 hrs agoBristol in pictures: Images from across the cityA selection of photos taken in the city telling the story of the past few days.8 hrs agoEngland8 hrs agoNine held after knife attack on two menTwo men in their 20s were taken to hospital with knife wounds, with one in a serious condition.8 hrs agoBristol
