Child & Adolescent Mentoring Scheme
The scheme was set up in 2000 with the aim
of supporting children in the London Borough of Havering between
the ages of ten and eighteen who are recognised as needing
social and emotional support outside the family.
The scheme is targeted at children who are
at risk of social isolation e.g. bullying, school phobia,
social or family crisis.
Main reasons for referral:
- Bereavement
- Abuse issues-physical/emotional/sexual
- Bullying
- Anti Social Behaviour
Once the child joins the scheme, he/she will
automatically be able to access activities. These activities
run on a Thursday evening once a month and include; cinema,
bowling, badminton, card making, quiz nights, pizza evening.

Befriending Scheme
This scheme was set up in January 1996 with the aim of alleviating
some of the isolation suffered by people with severe mental
health problems.
Our client's diagnoses cover a wide spectrum from phobias
and depression to schizophrenia but all have a common link
in that they find it difficult to enter into social activities
that most of us take for granted.
We try to help the client overcome this by introducing them
to a volunteer who will act as a befriender. Volunteers will
initially visit for approximately 2hours a week. Eventually
it is hoped that the volunteer will accompany the client to
agreed leisure activities.
Resource Centre
The resource centre is based at Harrow Lodge House and provides
access to a wide range of information covering local activities,
health information, volunteering opportunities. Access
to the internet is also provided.
Please telephone or e.mail to check opening times.
