As I’m sure most people are aware, the government are to launch a major mentoring scheme where secondary school pupils are to be mentored by university students http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7328464.stm I think it worth reading the linked description of Westminster’s scheme and how they pay mentors, £7 per hour. Are the days of the free volunteer over?

I don't think the days of the volunteer mentor are over. The energy and motivation of the volunteer mentors I have met through my work at Brightside never ceases to amaze me. Also, with volunteering being increasingly valued by employers, I think the number of volunteer mentors in the UK will continue to rise.
