Walter and Henry wished they’d had mentors when they were younger.
That’s where Oppidan came in. After six years we now support thousands of children through one-to-one mentoring and in schools around the world. We believe that a good education starts with a focus on confidence and resilience and that every child should benefit from mentoring. It's all made possible with a team of 200 inspiring mentors; a network of game changers who dedicate themselves to positive growth in each of their mentees across 3,000 families and 100 schools in the UK and beyond.
