Leamington charity is running another mentoring programme to help young men make a positive change in their lives

A Leamington charity aimed at offering young men the chance to make a positive change in their lives will run another 12-week mentoring programme from next month.

A Band of Brothers Leamington was set up four years ago and has built a community of older men trained to deliver an intense residential rites of passage weekend followed by the mentoring programme to provide 'transformative change. to the younger men who participate.

The charity are especially interested in talking to men who are at particular risk of the criminal justice system.

The Spring Quest 2022 programme starts on May 6.

A Band of Brothers Leamington has said: "The Quest for Community has worked with hundreds of men nationally over 80 per cent of whom never go on to re-offend.

"A Band of Brothers vision is to make a world where every man fulfils their potential with a sense of meaning, connection and purpose.

"The experience itself invites young men to draw a line under their adolescence and begin to both consider and move towards becoming the adult man they wish to be. The journey is held and guided by trained older men from the local community.

"This consists of a weekend residential experience followed by 12 weeks of intense monitoring and support.

"This is vital, as the young men are immersed in a strong field of healthy masculinity and role models. Here they can draw upon a vast pool of life experience and wisdom from committed older men who come from a range of diverse backgrounds."
