Hello Emmanuel!

We are delighted that you will be mentoring your two new Hayfield Cross Mentees over the next six months as part of this Mintridge Mentoring programme!

Everything you need for your mentoring programme is right here on this page. You can access all of your mentoring documents via the links below, and we encourage you to take some time to look through everything on this page before your programme starts. There are some helpful guide sheets you can use in the mentoring pack that your mentee also has access to on their own webpage.

If you have any questions during your mentoring programme, you can contact the Mintridge team via the button at the bottom of this page or email Alex / Jess / Jo!

We hope you enjoy this brilliant mentoring programme and we look forward to getting you started on this journey.

For your information, the questions in the form below are what we have asked your mentee before their mentoring programme.

Make sure you join your Playwaze community before the start of your mentoring programme so the Mintridge team and your mentees can communicate with you during the programme. Please also download the Playwaze app so that you can get notifications and messages through your phone.

Your calls will take place fortnightly on an online platform (organised by the Mintridge Foundation).

IPlease try and message in Playwaze directly to your mentee if you need to change a call, as this will help speed up the communication process.

If you are concerned about your mentee or are having any problems on your calls, please let your Programme Manager know.

If you need to report a safeguarding concern during or after a call, please click here.

You can access our Safeguarding area at anytime via the link above or by visiting www.mintridgefoundation.org.uk and clicking “SAFEGUARDING” at the bottom of each page on our website.

Please remember that an adult must be in the background or same room as your mentee when you are conducting your calls to ensure we follow our safeguarding policy.

As part of the Mintridge family, we would love for you to support us in any way you can. Whether that is through sharing our stories, signing up to take part in events or raising funds and awareness for the charity for many years to come.

Two really easy ways to support the Foundation, are to take a look at our Support Us page and see how you might be able to help or be involved or to join Easyfundraising and raise free funds for the Foundation when you do your online shopping.

As a Mentee, you can raise your own free funds through Easyfundraising that can go towards your training kit, school equipment or anything you need during your journey. Take a look at the information below to learn more about setting up your own cause.

The Mintridge Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport. We provide a support network for young people by harnessing the power of positive sporting role models. The Mintridge Foundation assists young people of all ages, abilities and physical capabilities to develop confidence and resilience, and creates awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing through sport. 

Our team of Ambassadors  - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK. Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisation’s requirements, our ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology such as Fitswarm and Playwaze to build a lasting legacy for individuals.

The Mintridge Foundation’s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a mentee’s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, we also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.
