Mentoring Partnerships for Organisations

ABM works with organisations that want mentoring to support people, performance and growth. Our partners are united by a shared ambition: to make mentoring more credible, structured and impactful.

Build a coaching and mentoring culture within your membership

Help your members grow through access to experienced mentors, practical support and a connected professional community.

ABM works with membership organisations to build professional coaching and mentoring into the member experience — creating opportunities for members to learn from one another, develop their capability and build stronger professional relationships.

From programme design and mentor training to professional standards, accreditation and ongoing support, we provide the infrastructure to make mentoring a valuable, credible and scalable part of your membership proposition.

What this could look like

Member mentoring programmes — match members with experienced mentors to support business, leadership and career development.

Peer mentoring communities — create structured peer groups where members learn, challenge and support one another.

Member-as-mentor programmes — develop experienced members as trained mentors, giving them another way to contribute and deepen their engagement.

Leadership mentoring — support emerging and established leaders through confidential, structured mentoring.

Coaching and mentoring skills — give members the skills to become better coaches, mentors and leaders.

Professional recognition — strengthen mentoring practice through ABM standards and appropriate training and accreditation pathways.

Supporting volunteer-led
mentoring organisations

ABM partners with charities, social enterprises, universities, community organisations and corporate volunteering programmes to strengthen the quality and impact of volunteer business mentoring.

We complement your existing programme by providing a recognised professional framework, while your organisation continues to manage volunteer recruitment, matching, supervision and programme delivery.

Through an ABM partnership, your organisation and volunteer mentors can benefit from:

  • Professional mentoring standards and ethical guidance.
  • Access to the ABM Code of Conduct
  • Recognition through an ABM pro-bono mentor pathway, subject to the applicable requirements.
  • Practical mentoring resources and continuing professional development.
  • Peer learning and connection with the wider professional mentoring community.
  • Progression opportunities into formal training and ABM membership.
  • Greater evidence of quality and consistency for funders and stakeholders.

Whether you are developing a new volunteer mentoring programme or strengthening an established one, we can create a partnership that reflects your organisation, your volunteers and the communities you support.
