Hope Church is very proud to be partnering with Spear to deliver the award-winning programme in Islington. Since 2016 Spear Islington have been helping young people to overcome the challenges they face and build vital skills and confidence for their career, so that they can prepare for the workplace and commit to long-term employment.

WHAT IS SPEAR?

Spear, formerly known as Resurgo, is one of the UK’s most effective youth employment charities. Our vision is for every young person in the UK, regardless of their background, to fulfil their unique potential and contribute to society. And that’s the goal of the Spear Programme.

The award-winning Spear Programme offers young people professionally recognised coaching, for free, to support them into sustainable work or education. They leave Spear equipped to thrive in work and life.

We’ve been running the programme for two decades, supporting more than 11,000 young people at 18 centres across the UK.

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