We are on a mission to transform the lives of up to 90 young people facing challenging circumstances in Bristol each year, giving them the support, skills and confidence they need to get into work (or re-enter education) and begin to build a future filled with hope.
Inspiring employment
Almost 2 million young people live in poverty in Britain today.
Young people are twice as likely to have lost a job amid the pandemic than older workers with a third of 18-to-24-year-olds having lost jobs or been furloughed.
We believe young people hold huge amounts of talent and we want to help them to thrive and find their place in work or education.
Spear Bristol Foundation lasts for 6 weeks and is delivered by our highly trained coaches. It has one simple aim: getting young people ready for work or education.
After the 6 week program we support the trainees for a following 12 months, helping them secure employment, and then sustain and thrive in their role.
"Life before Spear Bristol honestly wasn't great. I didn't know where I was going work-wise. I didn't really leave the house or talk to people because I had no confidence at all.
During Spear Bristol, I built up my confidence a lot. I felt more comfortable talking to people and just doing presentations and interviews."
