IProveFit provides one-to-one, small and large group trauma-informed and evidence-based mentoring to children and young people with support needs in Tiers 1-4.

They work with children and young people to boost their self-worth and to help them recognise their own achievements. They model positive behaviours, collaborate with young people to overcome barriers and emphasise a healthy lifestyle for both the body and the mind. Individuals access the service for a minimum of 12 weeks but each child or young person is assessed on an individual basis.

The mentors at IProveFit use their own experiences to help the children and young people working with them. Each activity is bespoke and personalised to suit the individual’s needs. Individuals are referred into the service by their schools, through the Local Authority or from a private referral.

IProveFit applies a series of Mentoring Approaches:

• One-to-one mentoring: Mentors provide guidance by sharing knowledge and developmental advice to help young people achieve their goals.
• Small Group Mentoring: Groups of young people with similar goals or challenges receive support by fostering communication and teamwork.
• Flash Mentoring/Crisis Mentoring: Short-term mentoring addressing specific, immediate needs or issues.
• Virtual Mentoring: One-to-one sessions conducted virtually through TEAMS, eliminating location restrictions.
• Team Mentoring: Multiple mentors work with the same individual to provide diverse perspectives and meet various needs.
• Insight Mentoring: Both mentor and young person learn from each other, sharing input and respecting each other's experiences. This keeps ideas fresh and relevant, addressing current themes and trends.

Alongside supporting the holistic needs of the individual, IProveFit also offers numeracy and literary tuition, as well as GCSE core subject input, for up to three hours per subject per week, depending on the needs of the child or young person. Young people can achieve a Leadership Level 1 award and Personal Training qualifications.

Staff have a range of qualifications to support the children and young people that they work with, including Safeguarding, Prevent, Autism Awareness, First Aid at Work, and Mental Health First Aid.
