Testimonials

I enjoy going to youth club as the youth workers are always up for a chat and I know they’re people I can trust.

Youth Clubs

Krunch mentors go above and beyond their mentoring role to support students at the college. Their support goes further than the mentoring sessions and mentors truly care for the young people they are working with.

This course was a great experience and has definitely made me more confident. I have gained some vital life skills.

Mentoring has helped me to keep calm and gain more courage to not be so shy. It’s helped me build up confidence.

Mentee

I am very grateful for my mentor as they helped me realise a lot of things about myself and the people around me. I really valued their advice as I could tell they were a genuine person and would not judge me based on what I shared.

Young person

Thank you ever so much for the course. I really have learnt a lot, and because I’ve done the course I put it on Facebook and I’ve had three new families ask me to babysit which is now a regular thing! Thank you again for the experience!

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for running this great course. Lauren really enjoyed the day and found it very interesting. Lauren has been working as a babysitter for a while, but I think this course is helping her have confidence in herself and what she has been doing.

I have worked with Krunch for many years in my role in the police. Their consistency has always been to a very high standard, even though we all have faced financial challenges and cut backs. 

They have always had the ‘let’s see how we can help’ attitude which has always put their organisation at the forefront of any issues, concerns or projects we have in mind.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for putting on such a brilliant two day babysitting course! Sarah learnt so much and it has hopefully given her a lot of confidence to look after other people’s children. She also said that the staff were all so lovely and very helpful.

I’ve had a lovely time with Krunch. I always looked forward to sessions, and they’ve overall had a very positive impact on my life.

Young person
Hands Off! Thinking On!

Thank you so much for putting on these activities through the school holidays. My kids love attending and always say how much they have done in just a few hours. It’s great for them to be outside playing with other children and building on their social skills instead of being in front of a screen. The food also looked delicious, and although my kids never usually eat that much salad, they dove straight into the salad bar you provided. Thank you for such a great provision that I can afford!

Parent
School Holiday Activities

Krunch provide a vital service to our learners helping them to overcome emotional difficulties that affect their learning. Lynsey and Mark are very supportive of the college as a whole, listening to feedback and being flexible when needed. We have a long-established relationship with Krunch and look forward to continuing this partnership.

College Assistant Principal

Thank you so much for all the work you are both doing, the children have shown such an improvement in the last few weeks since having mentoring.
