Making a difference for young people Youth development experts agree that, in addition to their parents, children need additional supportive, caring adults in their lives. For most children this need is met through family and family friends.
But for some children additional support is required to help them grow and achieve their potential.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nelson aims to provide a mentor for any young person who needs one between the ages of seven and 17, from Hira to Wakefield.
So whether you volunteer, donate or participate with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nelson, you will change lives.
