| Fifteen
year old Jamie has been meeting with Levi, one of
our mentors with Krunch, for several months at school.
Jamie was struggling with his coursework and Levi
came in to help him get it sorted.
'Levi
helped me organise my coursework. He's not like
a teacher, he's more like a friend.We have a laugh
together - he's funny.' Jamie |
|
|
| 'I
think mentors are a great idea to have in schools.
My mentor definately helped me with my coursework
and my work has improved. He is like a friend. I think
that I probably want to go to college after school
to study art.' Mark |

The Panel were impressed by the proven ability of
Krunch to build relationships with a wide range of
young people, particularly those from socially excluded
groups'. |
|
|
| 'I
am positive that the work of Krunch will continue
to provide a vital link to promoting and encouraging
children to access education' |
|
|
| 'A
very good staff team is functioning effectively in
its work with young people and good recording and
accreditation arrangements are in place. The Project
clearly has good relationships with referring partners
and is trusted by them'. |
|
|
| 'I
have been delighted with the success of these intial
referrals and would not hesitate to refer other young
people to Krunch'. |
|
|
| 'We
have found Krunch to be flexible in their approach,
reliable, professional and enthusiastic in their work
with young people from varying backgrounds'. |
|
|
| 'Not
only did they behave in a professional and very courteous
manner but the interaction they displayed with our
service users, some of whom have very complex needs,
was nothing short of amazing.' |
|
|
| 'Without
the guidance and counselling I doubt whether this
pupil would be in a position to face the forthcoming
GCSE examinations'. |
|
|
|
'The pupils
involved appear to have really enjoyed the sessions and
we feel that they have benefited from the experience.'
|
|
|
'Your
work with young people at risk of exclusion is well structured
and achieving many positve outcomes, primarily sustaining
them in education and support them to achieve attainment.
Your passion to reach hard to reach young people is inspiring.
I am full of admiration for the amount of effort the organisation
has made to reach these young people as well as a mentoring
programme, youth club programme providing diverse activities
from creative arts to recretional work, you also offer many
thematic free workshops to 4 schools. Your organisation
has a very strong holistic and young person centred ethos
in operation which is 'live' and making a positive impact
on the community.'
