Company activities and impact

The Catalyst Collective Organisation CIC operates a mentoring programme that aims to utilise the powerful intervention of mentoring to benefit Black girls and women. We connect young Black girls aged 14-18 with accessible role models to act as mentors. We do this through recruiting, training, matching and supporting meaningful mentoring pairs. Our mentees are all Black women from a range of professional backgrounds, and our mentees are Black girls who attend one of our partner schools.Over the past year, we have worked consistently with around 50 mentoring pairs and 3 partner schools. Mentors and mentees have developed skills in communication, organisation and confidence, and mentees have been supported to achieve a range of SMART goals focusing on social, career and academic aspirations, including undertaking work experience, successfully applying for colleges and sixth forms, becoming more confident public speakers and developing a strong approach to managing their time.We’ve also piloted university pairs and are developing a short term mentoring intervention for older students alongside career insights programmes and a larger scale work experience programme.With evidence demonstrating inequity in the experiences of Black young people, and specifically the lack of positive representation and interventions for young Black women in the UK, this year we have continued to provide access to representative role models for Black girls, to help them achieve their aspirations and support the pipeline of emerging Black talent to decrease educational and professional attainment gaps.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholder consultation has taken place in a number of ways this year. Firstly, we’ve used survey data to collate mentee and mentor feedback. Mentees completed a start of year and end of year survey which gathered their views and perceptions at key stages of the project and gave them chances to shape components of the project. Mentors also completed an end of year survey and this shaped the design of the following year’s programme.Secondly, our Advisory Board has gone from strength to strength, meeting around 6 times per year to provide guidance, scrutiny and challenge to the programme. We have started a Youth Advisory Board where the young people in the programme take decisions and influence of programme design.Thirdly, we’ve used informal feedback opportunities through quick polls and questionnaires where mentors and mentees can shape our programme design and upcoming events. For example, following significant mentee interest in legal careers, this feedback prompted us to arrange a Law Insights Day. Finally, partner schools are a key component of the programme success, and we meet and communicate regularly with them, shaping the programme around their priorities and making adaptations where required.
