Terms & Conditions

Charity Mentor’s Role:

The mentoring model on offer is strategic rather than advice-specific and has the following parameters:

  • Aims and desired outcomes of mentoring project clarified at first meeting
  • Short term – Guideline of 3 months initially – maximum 6-month term
  • Outcomes of the project written up by organisation and agreed by mentor
  • Mentor will not act as an advisor or consultant. Their role is to encourage mentees to optimise their own problem-solving abilities and knowledge, so that decisions can be made based on all available information and the analysis of all possible options.

Participation in a mentoring project will be taken as your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

  • Relationship with Board. The Trustees or Directors of each organisation must be informed and agree to a mentoring project taking place. The contact person needs to confirm that this is the case before a project can proceed beyond a first meeting.
  • Confidentiality. The mentoring process is confidential to you and Charity Mentors. At a mentor’s discretion, aspects of the project might be discussed within Charity Mentors if the mentor feels it would be helpful but only under conditions of utmost confidentiality. Details of matters discussed will not be passed on to anyone else without permission unless a mentor discovers something potentially illegal or the mentor believes there is risk of significant harm to an individual(s).
  • Information to be shared. Exceptions to confidentiality. The fact of the project taking place is not confidential and may be shared by Charity Mentors or by your organisation. The outcomes from the project should be shared with your trustees.
  • Responsibility for decisions. Neither an individual mentor nor referring organisation can take any responsibility for decisions made, whether based on advice given or not. Responsibility for decisions made remains always with the trustees of the organisation.
  • Complaints procedure. In the case of difficulties, the Co-ordinator of the project (Alison Lake) should be contacted. We have a formal complaints procedure for situations where these difficulties cannot be resolved informally. Alison can be contacted on 07521464975 or info@charitymentors-sussex.org.uk
With too many ideas and not enough time, our mentor was very helpful in breaking these down to manageable tasks, to then be better able to prioritise. A great way to speak openly to someone completely independent in order to discuss ideas, best practice, and priorities to maximise the potential for development of your organisation.

CM gives you and your organisation the opportunity to develop and improve. With just a few meetings you can select the priorities with your mentor, discuss ideas, strategy, and operation. Meeting with a mentor provides focus and motivation and enables you to see what you are trying to achieve from a different perspective. It can help you refocus or grow and upscale so would be of benefit to anyone looking for a boost.

A charity mentor brings an outside eye into your organisation. With that comes huge experience and knowledge and although this may not necessarily be in the field of work your charity inhabits, those skills and that knowledge can be transferred and used in many different and positive ways for your charity. It is so useful to have someone that is not personally invested and is able to offer a different and objective perspective.

Charity Mentors is an excellent programme that matches charity employees with the mentoring expertise to help develop both personal potential and the potential of the organisation. Through the mentoring process professional challenges, we worked through, confidence built, and skills enhanced. The opportunity for constructive change is great and the benefits to the work of the charity far-reaching.
