I was introduced to Mencap Liverpool through the Open Door Workshops. I took part in the workshops learning about healthy living, self-confidence, money management, friendships and relationships and lots of other interesting things.
After completing the workshops I was asked to become a peer mentor for the next set of workshops which were taking place at Sandfield Park School.
As a peer mentor I have supported the students to learn about healthy living, drink awareness, self-confidence, friendships and relationships. I have worked with Shane and Jenny to help plan the lessons that we will teach the students each week.
I enjoy being a mentor as I am able to help the children to learn about new things. It’s good to be a mentor!
