Chance UK has been delivering early-intervention services across London since 1995. Our longest running programme is our mentoring service where Mentors pick the child up from home and run a 1:1 session in the community, once a week for 2 hours. They use the solution-focused approach to work on building the child’s self-esteem and confidence, set goals and explore new places.
In addition, we are growing a range of community based groups running after school as well as some workshops delivered in schools which will support children with developing social and emotional skills and resilience through activities or skills development.

About the role
Parents play a critically important role in the lives of their children – and parenting can have an impact on
short and longer term outcomes for children. However being a main carer for a child can be challenging and is influenced by mental health and well-being, stress, self-efficacy, and broader social factors such as isolation or financial hardship.
Chance UK supports parents and carers of children accessing our services to develop their parenting skills and confidence, reducing stress and isolation and improving confidence.

We do this via a structured 1:1 weekly mentoring programme, and weekly community groups which support children to develop the social and emotional skills they need to flourish.
