A CHARITY which works to mentor young men who are or at risk of involvement in the criminal justice system is looking for mentors.

A Band of Brothers is holding an introductory evening for any man in the Oxford area interested in the work it does to rehabilitate young offenders and help those who are at risk of offending.

The next meeting of the charity will be held at Jubilee 77 Hall, Sorrel Road, Oxford, OX4 6SH between 7pm and 9.30pm on Thursday, October 17.

Young men between the ages of 18 and 25 are encouraged to attend if they are struggling and need to make a change in your life or if they know someone who is.

Men over the age of 28, who are interested in becoming a mentor to their juniors, can find out more about how to get involved with the charity.

The evening gives attendees the opportunity to find out what training and support the charity offers, learn the amount of time commitment expected, to hear from existing members of the community about their experience, and ask any questions.

The Oxford group is raising funds to run three 12-week residential programmes a year to help young men.
