We are a finalist
We are honoured to be named one of just 12 finalists for the 2026 CSJ Awards.
Often described as the “Oscars of the small charity world”, the CSJ Awards recognise outstanding grassroots organisations across the UK that are transforming lives and bringing frontline experience into national policymaking.
At Reach Mentoring, we believe every young person deserves someone who believes in them. Through trusted, consistent mentoring relationships in schools, we help young people build confidence, strengthen wellbeing and raise their aspirations for the future.
Being recognised by the CSJ Foundation is a testament to the courage and potential of the young people we work alongside, and to the dedication of our mentors, partner schools, supporters and staff who make this work possible every day.
As our Organisation Lead said:
“We are delighted to have been named a finalist in the 2026 CSJ Awards. Every young person deserves someone who believes in them, and at Reach Mentoring we are privileged to provide that support through trusted, consistent relationships within schools. We see first-hand the difference that mentoring can make to confidence, wellbeing and future aspirations.
This recognition reflects the courage of the young people we work alongside and the dedication of our mentors, schools and supporters. We are proud that the Centre for Social Justice has recognised the importance of early intervention and relationship-based support in helping young people thrive.”
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. We’re proud to stand alongside so many inspiring organisations working to create lasting social change.
