Mission
Statement
Chance UK seeks to provide an early and transforming intervention
in the lives of vulnerable children, so that together with their families
they may begin to build a brighter future.
Chance UK provides specific and targeted solution focussed mentoring
for children aged 5-11 years, based on individual needs. Our programmes
are delivered by carefully screened and trained volunteers, who are
closely supervised and supported.

Reducing the isolation vulnerable children and their families may
experience.
Supporting children to find the motivation, insight and life skills
to move forward.
Diverting a child’s disruptive/challenging behaviour into projects
which encourage a sense of personal achievement and possibility.
Supporting a child’s learning by encouraging a sense of discovery
and worth.

programmes
