As we all know, our young people are the future. Somerset charity, PROMISEworks trains adults to be mentors to children and teenagers who need that bit of extra support to thrive and build their confidence in the world.

My guest Christell Charles is the coordinator for West Somerset and Taunton and, as a mentor herself, sees first hand how valuable having an 'adult friend' can be when a young person has not had the best start in life or has emerged from the COVID-19 lockdowns scared, worried and anxious about going out or meeting new people.

Join Christell and I as we talk about what being an adult mentor to a young person involves, the changes mentors can make to young lives and, of course, we eat cake! In Christell's case, quite a lot of it! This is a uplifing episode that makes you realise how important it is to have local charities working hard to make a difference to lives in the county.
