Get to know each other.
It takes time to build trust. You can start with everyday conversation and work out what you’d like from mentoring together.
MENTORING MENFREE · ONE TO ONE · MEN 18+
A different perspective. Your decisions.
What’s next
for you?
Make time to think things through with someone outside your usual circle.
YOUR LIFE. YOUR NEXT STEP.
Someone in your corner
You don’t have to
work it all out alone.
A decision ahead. Something you want to change. Or simply time to think with someone who listens.
Get a feel for life mentoring and the kind of connection you’d value. Explore at your own pace, then apply separately if you’re ready.
Applying opens a separate Jotform application. It explains how your details are handled; nothing from the homepage check-in is carried into it.

Life mentoring
Room to think.
Someone to talk with.
You and your mentor make time for regular conversations about your life. He listens, brings another perspective and respects that the decisions are yours.
Find a way to meet.
In person, by phone or online. You agree on a format and regular contact that work for both of you.
There’s a team behind you.
MM screens and trains volunteer mentors and supports both of you throughout the mentorship.
A few things you might wonder
Before you decide.
Is this for someone like me?
Men come to mentoring with different lives, interests and goals. You might want to build on something that’s going well, explore a decision or talk through a difficult chapter. Our team will discuss your needs and whether the service is suitable.
Does it cost anything?
Mentoring Men provides free one-to-one life mentoring for men aged 18 and over. Our mentors volunteer their time.
Do I need to know what I want to talk about?
You don’t need a polished goal. It helps to be willing to get to know someone and explore what you’d like from the mentorship.
Can mentoring sit alongside counselling?
Yes, mentoring can sit alongside professional support. It doesn’t replace counselling, treatment or crisis care. The team will discuss whether it suits your circumstances.
What happens to my answers?
The optional homepage wellbeing check-in stays in your browser’s temporary page memory and clears when you close it or reload. Nothing from that check-in is sent to the application. If you choose to apply, the separate form is provided by Jotform.
