Welcome To

The Olive Hut

We are a youth mentoring service for young people who are previously looked after and currently looked after.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see every young person who is mentored through The Olive Hut, have an increased sense of good mental health and well-being, that strengthens their self-esteem and confidence. Our belief is that this will then have a direct impact on their family life, peer relationships and within their communities.

“No one looks at an olive tree and asks why it hides its fruit. It blossoms when its ready and under the right conditions.”

— Sadiqua Hamdan

Our Services

  • Our mentoring programme is tailored for each young person and we hold their wellbeing as high importance throughout. We are trauma informed and attachment trained, so we can best understand each young person.

  • Our mission is to not only see a positive change in every young person that is mentored through us, but to also be a support to parents and carers. Through meet ups, coffee mornings and peer support gatherings, we want to reduce isolation and enhance wellbeing.
