💬 What this event is about:

Over the last 12 months, Goal 17 has led a national mentoring programme supporting hundreds of care-experienced young people and recruiting over 500 volunteer mentors. Backed by Department for Education funding and delivered in partnership with multiple local authorities, the programme generated a vast amount of rich data, human stories, and learning.

This event will reveal our newly published Impact Report – bringing together:

• 🔎 Insights from hundreds of mentoring conversations

• 📊 Data from surveys, interviews, and our AI-powered safeguarding platform

• 🗣️ Real voices of young people, mentors, and local authority professionals

• 🎯 Practical lessons we’ve learned (including what we’d do differently next time)

This is not just a celebration — it’s an honest and open conversation about what it takes to build meaningful mentoring for care-experienced young people and how we can do better next time.

• You’ll be among the first to see the full findings and impact report

• Gain insight into scalable, data-backed approaches to youth mentoring

• Hear powerful quotes and stories directly from those involved

• Learn how this work is already influencing future programmes
