For 29 years, Citywise offered transformational mentoring experiences for young people in Manchester and Glasgow. Our unique approach blended 1:1 mentoring with a curriculum focussed on the development of character strengths such as fairness, resilience, good judgement and self-control.
Sadly, following several years of background financial struggle, which became acute in the early part of 2023 due to inflation and competition for funds, the Trustees took the difficult decision to wind up the activities of the charity. Following our final two summer holiday camps in August, the formal activities of the charity will come to an end. The Trustees will then take the necessary steps to wind up the legal and financial aspects of the charity.
We leave behind a legacy of deep and far-reaching work in thousands of children's lives, and although there will be no new work with young people going forward, we can be thankful for all the lives our charity has touched over the years. We can trust that every interaction that Citywise staff and mentors have had over the years has planted seeds in children's lives which they will carry with them into their futures.
We also want to express our deep gratitude to everyone who made Citywise such a special family. Every child, parent, volunteer, staff member, teacher, trustee, donor who played a part: without your generosity we could not have done all the good work that we did.
