Our values

Three core values – fairness, consistency and integrity – are at the heart of everything I do at Inkpots – and together with kindness and respect, provide solid foundations for the mentoring programmes and sessions .

Going to Inkpots sessions gives me hope on a bad day.”

13-year-old student

Inkpots Mentoring programmes and sessions offer the chance to discover a safe space where you can be yourself – where you can share your doubts and worries and uncover your dreams.

It also helps you see the gold inside yourself.

By taking part in an Inkpots Mentoring programme, a young person can go from feeling stressed and worried…

to much more calm
and confident
