How Breakthrough Mentoring is funded

Breakthrough Mentoring supports people of all ages with a variety of different needs. Each placement needs to be funded for us to provide support and there are a variety of methods. We can:

• support individuals as part of their direct payment allowance, through a service level agreement or contract with commissioning departments, or through organisations, schools and academies
• arrange individual payment if you are self-funding

How long do I have to wait after my referral?

As our service is bespoke and matched to the individual, therefore waiting times may vary accordingly. Each mentee is matched to a mentor, based on their personality, interests, individual needs and mentor availability.
