For mentoring and one-to-one support programmes

See what's really happening inside every relationship.

Young people and their mentors chat on WhatsApp as normal. Wowment turns those conversations into live insight, evidence and safeguarding for your organisation, without anyone sharing a personal number.

Most organisations know who's enrolled. Few know what's happening inside.

Relationships can look fine on paper and not exist in practice. Evidence comes from surveys months later. And the real conversations happen on personal phones, where nobody can see them.

You can't see which matches are working

On one programme, 151 young people were recorded as supported. Only 46 were actually in regular contact.

You can't prove your impact

Funders and commissioners want evidence, not anecdotes.

You can't spot risk early

Concerns stay hidden in private chats until it's too late.

How it works

No app. No login. Nothing new to learn.

Your live dashboard shows every relationship: who's thriving, who's gone quiet, and where to step in.

What you see

Everyday conversations become visibility, insight and evidence.

More young people actually engage

People already use WhatsApp every day. Meeting them there removes the barriers, and you can watch engagement grow week by week, including how much of the conversation comes from the young person.

Know which relationships are working

A live dashboard shows every partnership: who's thriving, who's had a slow start and who's gone quiet. Your team spends its time where it makes the most difference.

Understand what's happening inside

Go beyond message counts. AI summaries pick out the themes, progress and challenges in each relationship, so you learn what drives good outcomes.

Case study

Five local authorities. From 30% to 82% engagement.

Goal 17 delivers DfE-funded care leaver mentoring for five councils. When it moved relationships onto WhatsApp through Wowment, engagement with "hard-to-reach" young people changed completely, and the evidence helped secure another year of funding.

82%regular engagement, up from 30%
13,800interactions analysed in one year
69%progressing towards education, employment or training, without relying on surveys

Insights from the programme were launched in a report at Parliament and used to inform a public inquiry into support for care-experienced young people.
