MMWhat we do
Mentoring Matters is a pioneering, non-profit organisation that aims to redress the balance of equity and opportunity within the creative industries. Working from the grass roots up to promote broad and meaningful impact that can empower a wide range of participants and businesses. We work to avoid surface contributions and forge deeper in an attempt to tackle real systemic change.
Created for candidates from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, we utilise a variety of innovative, transformative methods to uplift our candidates into the workplace. We create a support system that they can rely on and benefit from as they navigate their career path. We have cultivated a genuine community for change and given our candidates access to a network that previously existed for only a privileged few.
We offer our global alumni access to mentoring, paid opportunities and a wealth of educational resources, including workshops and advice. Along the way, we make the journey as fun and meaningful as possible with various benefits and inspirational experiences to create transformational positive change. We empower our candidates via a long term uplifting, supportive community where they can connect, collaborate and gain peer advice. By implementing our methods and joining with like minded businesses and individuals we aim to reshape the future, promoting a more equitable, informed and exciting industry for us all.
