About us



horsesmouth.co.uk is the principle activity of The Horsesmouth Foundation which is a UK Company limited by guarantee with charitable objects..

horsesmouth is where social networking meets social enterprise; where personal contributions create public value; where human capital is unlocked to create social capital. It's social networking with a purpose. It's social networking for grown-ups. We call it the wisdomocracy. If you'd like to get involved in this ambitious and innovative new British online venture we'd love to hear from you!

 

Be a mentor 
If you've lived, you've learned. From starting a business to starting a family, from living with cancer to life as a carer, from which NVQ to embarking on an MBA. What did you do right? What do you regret? What pearls of wisdom would you pass on? The skills and knowledge you've gained could be invaluable to people facing the same choices and challenges; people you might otherwise never meet and who would never be lucky enough to meet you. Now with horsesmouth there's a safe, easy and rewarding way to 'give something back'.

 

Find a mentor 

When faced with a choice, challenge or change in life, do you ever wonder how other people coped with the same situation? What choices did they make and how did they turn out? Wouldn't it be useful if you could talk to someone who's 'been there, done that' and is willing to share their first-hand experience with you? And wouldn't it be great if that could be anonymous, confidential and secure? It's always better if you can get wisdom straight from the horse's mouth. And now you can.
