Support a Young Person

Could you give just 1 hour a week to support a young person in our local community and change a life?

MCR Pathways is an award winning charity school-based mentoring charity. They are looking for volunteer mentors for young people in schools in the Guildford area.

You don't need any special experience to mentor - if you care, you qualify!

Full training and ongoing support is given. Every young person deserves someone that can see their potential. An hour a week - a lifetime of impact!

Please contact Liz to find out how you can make a real difference liz.grace@mcrpathways.org or for more info/ to sign up: https://mcrpathways.org.

Annual Parish Meeting - Follow Up - Notice

Thank you very much for coming to our Annual Parish meeting last week, and for your valuable engagement in the topics we discussed. It was very good to receive your supportive comments with regard to the proposed Neighbourhood Plan and we will come back to you soon with more information on this and how you can get involved if you wish to.

We promised to act on your very strong views on Loseley’s work in Bummoor Copse and we asked you to let us have your comments via an email set up specifically for that purpose. However, unfortunately, there has been some unexplained illegal activity on that account and it has been permanently blocked, which means that we cannot access or reply to your emails.

Please would you re-send them to joanna.cadman@compton-pc.gov.uk and they will be responded to immediately.
