Brightside - Bright Futures mentoring 2022

Thanks for your interest in Bright Futures mentoring with Brightside!

Bright Futures is a mentoring experience specifically for young people in or with experience of being in care to help you decide what you want to do after school or college.

The Brightside Online Mentoring app lets you choose your own mentor to speak to, who can help you learn about careers and higher education at your own pace, from any smart phone or computer. It's all text messaged based through the app - no video calls, no live chat, no phone calls.
