Strengthening our community: Supporting Mentoring Plus in 2025

RIVIAM is committed to social value and prioritises employee wellbeing. We believe that a healthy and supported team helps build a stronger community. That’s why, at the end of last year, we gave our employees the opportunity to choose which charity they would support in the coming year. The decision was overwhelmingly clear, with over 70% voting for Mentoring Plus. We are excited to enhance our support for this incredible organisation. Alongside our Christmas donation, our employees have set our goal to raise at least £1,000 by the end of the year.

About Mentoring Plus

Mentoring Plus is a charity dedicated to supporting young people in our community by providing mentoring, guidance and opportunities to help them thrive. Their work is vital in empowering young individuals to build confidence, develop valuable skills and navigate their futures.

Strengthening our partnership

Wednesday, 5th February, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ruth Brown, Community and Relationships Lead at Mentoring Plus, to our office. This visit was a fantastic opportunity to share insights into our work at RIVIAM while also learning more about the life-changing impact of Mentoring Plus. Ruth’s passion and dedication to the cause left us inspired and even more committed to supporting their mission.

Experiencing the impact firsthand

On Monday, 10th February, our colleagues Matheus, Phil and Cato attended a Mentoring Plus event where they witnessed firsthand the incredible work being done. One particularly moving moment was hearing a testimonial from a young woman whose life had been transformed by Mentoring Plus. She shared how the mentorship program gave her the guidance and encouragement she needed to pursue her dreams. She now has a bright future ahead of her.
