“We always want to help increase opportunities for young people, and working with MCR Pathways is a great way of doing that. Mentoring helps build confidence and can improve school performance too. Mentors tell me how satisfying it is to make a positive difference to a young person’s life. I’d encourage as many people as possible to sign up as mentors and help support young people.” Laura Pluck, Group Director of Communities, Wheatley Group

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service became the first of the emergency ‘blue light’ services to step up to partner with MCR Pathways; an organisation which embeds strong teamworking and mentoring at its core, committed to serving communities through fire fighting, prevention and charitable activities.

122 Scottish Fire and Rescue staff have dedicated over 2,963 volunteering hours in the past five years.
