The Island

The Island is a charity in York providing Islands of pace and time for vulnerable children and young people; building confidence, self-esteem and unlocking potential through positive mentoring and unique programmes.

The demand for the services that The Island provides is considerable and growing, but sadly they do not have the resources to meet this demand. 

The Island depends largely on the contribution of volunteer mentors and they are actively recruiting new mentors now. If you would like to find out more then follow this link to their website:

To give through prayer:

Pray for the vulnerable children and young people in York, for them to have access to the help and care that they need to grow, develop and realise their potential. 

Pray for many more volunteers to come to The Island and pray for the staff of the Island, in particular the mentor supervisors and leaders, in all the work they do to help the young people of York.
