Mentoring helps Peak business
MATTHEW Goldsbrough is a business mentor in the High Peak for The Prince's Trust.
He volunteers his time mentoring young people with their business which they have started with help from The Trust, including a loan.
He mentors Georgia Howarth, who started her bridal business Cavendish Bridal House.
Matthew, who is a managing director of Goldsbrough Consulting, spends time once a month meeting Georgia and helping her with any business problems that she has.
Thousands of people across the country are volunteer mentors for The Prince's Trust Business Programme.
This month, The Trust is celebrating 25 years of The Business Programme which has helped 70,000 young people start a business. It gives low-interest loans and business support to young people to help them set up in business.
Many of the young people have either struggled at school, been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law.
