Meet Savannah Richards! She’s not worried about school anymore.

Hi, I am Alex and I’m 14 years old. I live in the centre of York. I haven’t got any brothers, but I have two sisters. Jade is 15 and Rosie is 11. Their hobby is dancing. I’m in form 10C at Sandringham High School and I’m a Go To mentor. I’m not good at homework, but I am good at talking! I hang out in the Go To room at lunch times. Kids come and ask me questions. They’re sometimes not happy and they want to chat. In the Go To room you can use the internet and there is a Xbox. It’s not just for problems! There are also lots of biscuits. The teachers can’t eat them – they’re just for us!

Hi, my name is Savannah and I’m 13 years old. I am really keen on swimming. I also love roller-skating! I live in a small village near York. I live with my mum and I’m an only child. I’m very shy and I sometimes find school difficult. My teacher told me about this club. The Go To mentors are great! They’re really kind to me. I’m not worried about school anymore. Now I want to be a Go To mentor! I know how it feels to be lonely. I want to help kids that feel lonely.

Here’s Alfie. He’s 11. Is he happy with the Go To club?

Here’s Alex’s sister, Jade. What does she say about her brother? Hi, I’m Jade Evans. I am 15 and I’m in form 11C. In my free time, I enjoy street dancing with my sister. Alex is my little brother. My sister and I are very pleased that Alex is a Go To mentor. He likes sport and he’s crazy about music. He’s really good at tennis and basketball. He’s not shy and he can’t stop talking! Is he a good Go To mentor? Yes, I think he is! The Go To club is great if you’re new at school, or want to meet new friends.

Hello, I’m Alfie Abel. I live in York, five minutes from Sandringham High School. I’ve got a twin sister called Megan. We’re not in the same class. We are totally different! She’s very confident. I love chocolate, but her favourite food is pizza! I like the school, but it’s very big! Savannah helps me when I’m lost. She’s quiet and very friendly. Am I happy with the Go To club? Yes, I think it’s an awesome idea! It’s an easy way to meet new people. I come here at lunchtime with my friends to play on the Xbox.
