Brightside is constantly growing and evolving. We are working with an increasingly diverse range of partners, using our expertise in online mentoring to connect ever more young people with inspirational role models, who help them to make confident and informed decisions about their future.

It’s been hard work going through over 100 inspiring entries we received, but we’re delighted to reveal the shortlist for this year’s Mentoring Awards.

Based on evidence from numerous experts including Brightside, the ‘Class Ceiling’ report commissioned by the All Party-Parliamentary Group on Social Mobility highlights the impact of mentoring among other recommendations.
