‘I really love mentoring and it has given me the confidence to go back into studying and re-evaluating my career choices. I have now secured a place on the Physiotherapy Course at Hull University with the help of the Parent Peer Mentor Team’s reference and I am really enjoying the placement at the hospital.’
