MENTORS, MEMBERS AND NETWORKERS

GUIDE + LEARN + CONNECT 

MENTOR

The Mentor is an independent person who will stand on the periphery of the group, monitoring relationships and ensuring that the group carry out free and fair selection of the project and that they abide by the mutually agreed criteria for beneficiary selection. The Mentor must also make sure relationships in the group are good, open and healthy, with no hidden agendas or influences. In particular, the Mentor should maintain good relationships between the Members, Core Donor and between the group and the beneficiary.

2. Business networking.
3. Develop knowledge and understanding of the charitable sector. 
4. Learn and hone new transferable skills including research, presentation, communication and problem solving.

• Become part of a wider network of alumni which we hope will continue to drive the culture of giving.

NETWORKERS

A Networker is not a compulsory role for Giving Groups to be established, however we do recognize there are individuals who may know people or are associated with networks that would be interested in Giving Plus. We appreciate that extensive time to be involved may not be feasible for some but passing the message on might be. We have highlighted this optional role in the event you know of someone who would be great as a Networker, or if that person is you.
