Mettle also contributes as a professional mentor through the Liverpool FC Foundation Mentor Works programme.

The programme supports young people aged 16 and above across the Liverpool City Region who are not currently in full-time education or employment.

Participants are matched with mentors from different professional backgrounds. Sessions focus on helping young people build confidence, understand workplace expectations, and develop practical skills for employment.

Mentoring typically takes place across a structured programme of sessions over several weeks, with additional opportunities for optional in-person meet-ups between mentors and mentees.

Mettle works in the community to meet people at their point of need.

Many people accessing local services minimise what they are dealing with. It's common at first to hear things like, "it’s not that important," or "you don’t want to hear my problems." When in reality, these are often the adults most at risk in our Southport community, and least likely to seek support in traditional ways.

Mettle is built as a sustainable private practice which allows us to give back through partnerships with organisations such as The Salvation Army and the LFC Foundation.

Without that balance, this work would not be possible.
