YourStory are pleased to announce a long-term programme which will aim to dismantle the return to education barriers disproportionately affecting young people with Long-Term Health Conditions (LTHCs). The focus is on those from Black and ethnic minorities, low-income backgrounds and those who struggle with communication skills, who face multiple, intersecting barriers.
“This work is funded by Propel Pooled Fund, which is held through the Collaboration Circle on behalf of City Bridge Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund. Propel is a collaboration of funders powered by London Funders, the membership body for public, private and independent funders in the capital”.
Propel is a collaboration of funders powered by London Funders, the membership body for public, private and independent funders in the capital.
Funding for Propel’s long-term grants programme is pooled through Collaboration Circle, a subsidiary company of London Funders that can hold ‘‘pooled’ money on behalf of multiple cross-sector collaborations both within and beyond the capital.
Do you have a young person in your family who would benefit from one-to-one mentoring?
In partnership with
NGB – No Going Back
Mentoring and Family Support for Ex-Offenders
YourStory is excited to invite families and young individuals to apply for our comprehensive support services.
Our Family Support program, led by an experienced family practitioner, offers assistance with various challenges, including financial guidance, post-release integration, enhancing family relationships, and navigating interactions with probation, social work, police, and schools more effectively.
For young people, our Mentoring program pairs them with dedicated mentors who work one-on-one to encourage positive life choices.
These mentoring sessions occur in safe, agreed-upon locations, such as the YourStory office, a local café, or online, typically lasting up to an hour, two to three times a month.
We also extend our support to younger family members (25 or under) who are NEET or at risk of offending or gang involvement through personalized mentoring.
We encourage you to reach out and apply for these valuable services!

Confidence Building
Our programmes help young people appreciate the value and skills they have.
Powerful Conversations
Our mentors talk through the unique stories young people have to unpick their behaviours.
Holistic Support
We engage with families and supporting agencies to provide support from all angles.
Our mentees are mainly between the ages of 11 and 18, and are struggling to achieve in their current environment. Our programmes are generally delivered in Inner London Boroughs and our young people are often from households living below the national poverty line.
Around two thirds of the young people we work with are male.
Around four fifths of the young people we work have BAME backgrounds.
Around two fifths of the young people we work with are SEND.
