Support Spear: Transform lives

Around 1 in 8 young people in the UK are out of work or education. But by supporting Spear, you can help thousands to get into work or study – and thrive.

Over 70% of those who complete Spear get into work or education and are still there a year later.

Government research ranks us as one of the UK’s most effective youth employment programmes.

It’s not training. It’s transformation.

And you can be part of making it happen.
