The RAW Mentoring team has enjoyed supporting the students and staff at Hamilton School over the last 2 years. They are an enthusiastic team, passionate about working with students who are at risk and struggling with the education system. Raw mentors understand how impactful physical activity and the Arts are to improving mental health and our programme therefore combines fitness and the arts with mentoring and coaching to create a personalised approach for every student. Their coping strategies enable our students to be more open to the education system and inevitably more susceptible to learning. RAW teach discipline through physical fitness and support mental health awareness and self-care. Their aim is to ensure every voice is heard and students understand how important they are to the community, so that they can confidently engage in productive behaviours.

“Raw mentoring’s programme has been running successfully for over ten years, and we hope to continue supporting the Hamilton community for as long as they need.”
