The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileNearly 800,000 young people are not in education, employment or training in the UK. As well as costing the UK economy an estimated £34 billion a year, unemployment negatively impacts a young person in the long-term, affecting their self-esteem and future earnings.
These young people feel pushed to the edge of society; many are told they will never amount to anything and feel hopeless. We have the opportunity to transform the future of this lost generation!
The Spear Programme is a highly interactive, year-long programme that supports disadvantaged 16 to 24 year olds, equipping them with the hard skills they need to find a job whilst also tackling the attitudinal and behavioural issues that are holding them back. We have supported over 5,500 young people through the programme.
75% of those who completed the Spear Programme get into work or further training and are still there a year later.
