Story
Thousands of young people across the UK face barriers to employment; from educational failure to crippling social anxiety. Many young people find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle, as unemployment causes low self-esteem which in turn prevents them from finding work. We want to prevent any young person from being left behind. Will you help us?
Through Resurgo's award winning Spear Programme, more than 8000 young people so far have been equipped with the skills and mindset they need to find and thrive in work, giving them a brighter future and transforming their communities in turn. 75% of the young people we work with get into work and are still there a year later!
Will you join us in transforming even more lives by sponsoring Team Resurgo in the Royal Parks Half Marathon?
Some recent Spear trainees said:
Spear has allowed me to see my potential, and not only what it is I need to do to get to where I want to be in life, but that I am able to do it. - Monica
From week one, I have learned so much. [My Spear coaches] have given me so much support and knowledge that I will carry for the rest of my life. Thanks to them, I truly know that I am fully capable of getting a job. - Kitti
The Spear Programme is such a safe environment where there's no judgement of any sort. I was allowed to express my opinions and ask questions. That massively boosted my confidence and communication skills. I now have a sense of belief that I can use these skills to progress. - Jack
