TMS Mentoring

Working with young people to achieve their goals and create positive futures

One-to-one support that makes a difference

A record one in five children in the UK need specialist SEND support.

They may be neurodivergent or have a diagnosed difficulty. They may have been excluded from mainstream education, or be at risk of exclusion. They may be facing a long wait for a SEND assessment. Many have an education, health and care (EHC) plan.

One-to-one mentoring is an effective way to help these young people grow in confidence and develop the social, emotional and practical skills they need to succeed in life.

Creating positive futures

TMS Mentoring changes lives with mentoring and support that helps children and young adults in Gloucestershire to thrive.

Our friendly, expert team deliver re-engagement activities that boost social interaction, resilience, independence, life skills and preparation for adulthood. These skilled and compassionate mentors work hard to develop close, trusting relationships that boost wellbeing and self-belief.

Taking place in our safe, well-equipped centre in Kingsholm, Gloucester or out in the community, sessions provide a safe space in which every young person is seen, heard and valued.

Since 2017, our bespoke packages have helped thousands of young people who struggle with traditional education to fulfill their potential and create a brighter future.

What our students say

Here’s what one of our students said about TMS Mentoring:

“My TMS mentor helped me overcome my struggles, move on from my past and make a better future. The staff have helped me become a better person and sessions were the highlight of my week. I wish there were more people in the world like TMS.”
