Hi Ian et al,
This is something we here at appa do a lot of so if you don't have any luck give me a call and I'll see what we can do to help.
Also, all of our staff, are actually staff so are trained as such, unlike agency type workers so I think that's why we can do the work others are more reluctant to do.
All the best
Imran

Hi David
Thanks for this - I think I've found someone who will do just that (meet at home initially but working towards meeting on-campus or local library etc).

The argument against is that it's not really facilitating independence, but you the mentor could work towards meeting in other locations.
