Mentor Eric said: “I got involved because I liked the idea of a new start up charity. The children they are trying to work with, it’s an age which you can make a real difference and I really want to be part of it. I’m really enjoying it the more he engages, and I see his progress. He has great energy levels which picks me up at the weekend after a long week at work.”
