The Story
Education is a fundamental right — not a privilege.
Omar Mentesh is the founder of Anabranch Plus — built on a simple but radical idea: that every person, regardless of where their journey began, deserves access to meaningful education and mentorship.
With years of experience working alongside individuals who have been failed by traditional systems, Omar has developed a practice rooted in connection, neurodiversity, and trauma-informed support. His work spans schools, local authorities, NHS trusts, youth charities, and corporate partners — always with the same conviction: you cannot aspire to a world you have never seen.
