Running 13.1 miles through London's finest parks to raise money for the award-winning Spear Programme, helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds overcome their challenges to get into and succeed in long-term employment.

Story

Nearly 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, award-winning year-long programme that equips and supports disadvantaged 16 to 24 year olds, through teaching 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 have then gone into work or further training and have remained employed a year later.
