“I'm proud to be a mentor and would encourage anyone who can to consider it. Of course, it is about helping your mentee but I would also emphasise that it is not a one-way street. In my experience, it is inspiring and restorative to bear witness to a young person's passion and drive.”
Mathew Baynton, actor, writer, comedian, 2021
