What if the system meant to help kids actually pushes them away?
And how do we support those who don’t fit the mould of mainstream education?
In this episode, Chris East speaks with Chris Powell from Bespoke Mentoring - an organisation born from lived experience, supporting young people who’ve fallen through the gaps.
Chris shares how his own school journey shaped his sixth sense for spotting emotional vulnerability, and why personalised, relationship-led support can change everything.
Every young person is different, and so is the support they need.
Bespoke Mentoring helps young people uncover barriers, rebuild trust, and find their path forward.
