What we do
We work exclusively in Surrey and are currently supporting students in a number of primary and secondary schools including Glyn, St Andrews, Epsom and Ewell High, Riverview and Epsom Primary School.
We ask schools to make a contribution to our delivery. This is heavily subsidised by grants and additional funding to enable us to offer our services as wide as possible and to all those who need it.
With our mentoring you will receive:
An experienced youth worker dedicated to working with your young person for 10 sessions on a weekly basis.
Support tailored to the needs of the young person.
A mentor who has received up to date safeguarding training and has undergone an enhanced DBS check.
At Buddy Up we take safeguarding extremely seriously.
If you have a concern about a safeguarding issue relating to a young person on our programme, please email [email protected].
If there is immediate risk to a young person, please contact the police.

‘Buddy Up has become a crucial part of the wellbeing intervention on offer in our school. The level of resilience and confidence in the students who have received support has rocketed and without mentoring they would have been less inclined to continue to engage with their education.’
‘The support which Buddy Up has provided our students the year has been invaluable. The students benefit from being able to speak to someone who has no links to school or family and have really opened up. It has been so successful that some of our students who have transitioned to mainstream provision have requested continued support from Buddy Up and the sessions have continued.’
‘My confidence has really increased. I question myself less. If I want to do something I will hesitate less and just do it.’
‘It was really nice to have something not so formal as what I have had with CAMHS.’
