Atos – ANTZ Mentor Programme: Greater Manchester & London

Atos – ANTZ mentor programme established 2015

Atos & ANTZ UK have been in partnership since 2014 when Atos joined the ANTZ Network.

In 2015 Atos and ANTZ UK become partners, co-creating the Atos-ANTZ Mentor Programme. The programme brings businesses and hard-to-reach communities together to achieve social impact and life-changing outcomes.

Atos employees are trained as mentors and supported by ANTZ. As mentors, they help people hard to reach in the community, including people in prison and prison leavers.

They provide skills and support, both practically and emotionally, helping mentees find jobs, gain further education, make informed choices and commit to meaningful roles in society.

There is no end date to the support given – it continues as long as it is needed.

Mentee

“It is very humbling to meet so many varied people. A reminder to be thankful, supportive and open-minded. Mentoring has opened up a whole new way of looking at both home and work life. I have realised reflecting and both past discussions and advice that I too should not forget and be grateful for both my efforts/rewards and good fortune. I too need goals to improve myself, my family and how I can return that benefit back to others.”
