Mentor me
Mentor me is a project run by Bristol based charity, Sixty One. Sixty-One’s name is taken from Isaiah 61, which Jesus quoted at the start of his ministry:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoner.
Ephesians 3:18-19
What we do
Mentor me support people with a criminal conviction who want to start a new life free from crime. They do this by training and supporting people from churches to mentor people with a conviction. It’s a wonderful and practical opportunity for Christians to learn more about God’s heart, their faith and the nature of grace.
How to get involved
MentorMe staff provide free, fun, engaging, high quality training and supervision to ensure that our mentors feel empowered, well supported and part of a team. Mentors need to be reliable, understanding, patient, and empathetic but do not need to be experts - life experience and a good sense of humour are more important!
