“Making sure no young woman is invisible"
The problem they are trying to solve:
Due to a lack of public health options and capacity, we are working to support all those young women who may fall between the cracks. We do this by providing safe spaces for one-to-one chats with their individually matched mentor and also help give them tools to combat anxiety, low confidence and also to build and support aspirations!
Their motivation:
We are deeply passionate about looking at each young woman and her implicit and explicit wellbeing needs as we have observed that so many young women can be invisible to many, in their distress and worries. We also believe in the power of each individual to help heal and support. We are supported by a team of volunteer mentors who are women in our community who believe and want to contribute to a community where women can hold each other's hand and offer genuine care, relationship and connection.
The support from the Pearce Foundation:
The Pearce Foundation has been instrumental and hugely impactful for us as a young registered charity. It has not only helped us develop the underlying structure and systems that were essential in our growth but also allowed us to feel connected and supported in a manner that is entirely consistent with Flourish Mentors values which include co-creation, playfulness, inclusivity, kindness, and empowerment.
We will remain genuinely eternally grateful for the warmth and expertise that Pearce has offered us which has allowed us to blossom and grow!
