Mentors Me
Mentorsme.co.uk is Britain’s first online gateway for small and medium-sized enterprises looking for mentoring services.
The free site offers businesses access to a list of quality-assured business mentoring organisations across Britain. An easy-to-use search engine allows businesses to refine their searches according to the life stage of their business and their location in Britain.
Their objective is to help businesses find a mentoring organisation to suit their needs in a fast and easy way.
The site also allows business professionals to offer their services as a business mentor via the mentoring organisations listed. Aspiring mentors may want to work in a particular area of Britain and have a particular area of expertise to offer. There is a search engine that allows them to locate mentoring organisations that are the closest match to their profile.
Mentorsme.co.uk also aims to raise awareness about the benefits of business mentoring through its library of online resources, which includes articles about mentoring and case studies of successful business mentoring relationships.

Could you be a business mentor? Get trained for free to get plugged into mentoring activities across the UK
Get Mentoring www.getmentoring.org| is a UK wide initiative which has been put in place to recruit and train 10,000 business mentors from the micro, small and medium sized business sector.
The initiative was launched last November by Business Minister, Mark Prisk.
Get Mentoring is designed for individuals with a range of mentoring interests, including those interested in (or already) mentoring new and growing businesses, those that work as non executive directors on SME boards, or even those looking to build their mentoring skills for future work plans.
To sign up you are required to complete a training course (via online, distance or taught workshop), and must be willing to commit at least one hour's mentoring a month for two years to your mentee(s). The course explores the role of a mentor and how your skills and experience can best support mentees. The course can be done online, via distance learning or at a UK workshop.
Trained mentors are listed via the mentoring organisation(s) of their choice on www.mentorsme.co.uk|.
