Budgeting is one area of mentoring.
"We work within their budget and help as much as we can."
She said a lot of people wanted to provide their own food and this was where those volunteers who have their own gardens worked alongside them to grow vegetables for their families.
Blair says they are teaching old skills to the younger mums and others.
"We teach systems, which is enlightening and enables them to operate in a routine. A lot of what we teach is common sense."
The volunteers' mentoring is delivered with empathy and kindness and no question is too small or too silly.
