Support Matrix Trust Guildford: Empowering Young People Locally

For 25 years, Matrix Trust Guildford has been dedicated to nurturing, inspiring, and empowering young people across the borough. Through its mentoring programmes, the charity supports children and teenagers in local schools with one-on-one sessions, group workshops, and engaging social activities.

Creating Safe Spaces and Opportunities

Beyond schools, Matrix Trust Guildford provides safe, welcoming environments in the community, such as Youth Cafes and Youth Hubs. These venues offer young people places to relax, connect with peers, and access support. The charity also runs work experience and traineeship projects that help young people develop vital skills for their futures.

Meeting Growing Challenges

Today, young people face increasing pressures. Rising mental health concerns, fewer safe spaces, and financial difficulties affect many families. Matrix Trust Guildford aims to meet these challenges head-on. To continue its vital work, the charity has launched a Crowd Funder to raise £25,000 during its 25th anniversary year.

Dan Setterfield, CEO of Matrix Trust Guildford, said, “We are proud of all we have achieved, but there is still more to do. Every donation helps us provide mentoring, safe venues, and training that young people need to thrive.”

By supporting Matrix Trust Guildford, you help build a stronger, brighter future for young people in the community.
