As part of our offering and means of supporting beneficiaries, the Trust assigns each beneficiary a dedicated Mentor free of charge.

Our Mentors are businesspeople from diverse business backgrounds who volunteer their time to provide business guidance to each beneficiary. Our Mentors’ focus is on understanding what the beneficiary wants to achieve while sharing their experience and network to assist in achieving those goals. The mentor-beneficiary relationship is key to ensuring a successful business outcome and therefore requires regular one-on-one meetings and business progress reviews.
