What difference will you make?

At Flourish Mentors, we're dedicated to making sure no young woman is invisible. We are a small but growing charity, registered in December 2021, and we offer free wellbeing support to young women - aged 16-25 - in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex. We are proudly LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and aim to help any young woman who comes to us, tackling their problems whether big or small.   We provide individualised one to one mentoring and fun experiential workshops, giving our mentees sustainable and life-enhancing skills. To date we've delivered workshops to around 400 young women, and we're currently supporting just over 60 mentoring partnerships. All our interventions aim to help young women increase their confidence and self-awareness, decrease their anxiety, and focus on fulfilling their dreams.
