“Resurgo means to ‘rise up again’. We believe that everyone has a part to play in the transformation of society. If we each play our part, society will flourish. We believe each young person has huge potential, no matter what barriers to employment they face. On the Spear Programme, we help our trainees realise this potential, by coaching them with the mindset and skills they need to both get into work, and thrive once they’re there.”

Resurgo’s Spear Programme equips 16-24-year-olds currently not in education employment or training (you might see this referred to this as ‘NEET’) to overcome the challenges they face and succeed in long-term employment. The Programme supports young people facing the most challenging barriers to work, including a criminal record, educational failure, and poor mental health.

Over 80% of young people who complete the Spear programme at Bethnal Green are still in work or education one year later so they're doing a huge amount of good in our local community.

It costs £2000 to put one person through the programme so that's the target we're setting ourselves to fundraise - your support is hugely appreciated.

Thanks,

The whole team @ Agora Talent
