What we do

The Mentor Ring is a community-based charity supporting individuals through mentoring and guiding people of all ages and backgrounds, helping them to overcome significant barriers to social inclusion. We believe that no individual should be excluded from active participation in employment, training, education, community life or social activities because of cultural, language, physical, mental or emotional health issues.
Over the years, we have made a meaningful impact by empowering individuals from diverse socio-economic backgrounds including veterans and their family members to overcome barriers, achieve their full potential, and foster a sense of belonging . Our work promotes resilience, self-confidence, and integration, creating lasting positive change across communities in Wales and England – particularly in the London Borough of Bexley and Dartford in Kent.

Who do we support

The Volunteer Interpreter role is to bridge language gaps, enabling effective communication between non-English speaking individuals and the organisation’s staff, volunteers, and services. This role is essential in ensuring inclusivity, equity, and accessibility for all members of the community, regardless of their language proficiency. By fulfilling these objectives, a volunteer interpreter role play a critical part in making the organisation’s services more accessible and effective for non-English speaking individuals. Their work not only facilitates immediate communication but also promotes long-term engagement and trust within the community.

This service is for people of all ages.
