“Our biggest challenge is raising funds in order to enable us to continue with our work. So, A Very Big Thank You goes to your organisation and members for your support.” - Denise Riley,
Executive Trustee, Positive Pete (Positive
Enlightenment through Education)
Positive Pete has been awarded £3,000 from the Metropolitan Masonic Charity. Bro. Symeon Ververidis went to discover more.
P
ositive Pete specialises in providing a Mentoring Programme specifically
designed for young people and offers personalised programmes of one-to-one mentoring and coaching. They currently work with and focus on the age group that falls within 8 - 24 year olds, who are from various academic, social and economic backgrounds. The generous donation has enabled
Positive Pete to enrol four additional mentors on the Accredited Institute of Leadership & Management Level 5 Course in Mentoring. This is a 2 year course at Post Graduate level that has been specially adapted for Positive Pete to ensure that the content related to working with young people within a school environment. This has led to Positive Pete's mentoring programme being engaged at two additional schools since
September’13, resulting in the mentoring of 10 additional students. They are currently holding discussions with another school in the Richmond area, as well as a Pupil Referral Unit in Lambeth. In Positive Pete, we do believe that it is an important part of our growth and
moving forward in our endeavour to help the young people we currently work with and those yet to come so that we can help them "To become the best they can be". The serious commitment being shown by Positive Pete with regards to the level and professional type of training offered has enabled us to engage our own Head of Training and Development, on a voluntary basis, designing Mentor Training as well as a number of Workshops.
Members of the Metropolitan Charity Liaison Unit bring these stories to arena, so that you can see what donations are being made in the Metropolitan area, whether by the main Masonic Charities or by our own Metropolitan Masonic Charity. If your lodge wishes to make its own donations to any of the charities listed, please do get in touch directly via your Lodge Charity Steward. We feel sure that the Charities will be very pleased to hear from you! Do then arrange for news of that donation to be sent to the Communications Team - especially if there is a photo to go with it!
