  • Sometimes it's easy to feel despondent about the issue of youth unemployment. If that's you today, have a read of why our CEO, Iona, has reasons to be hopeful ⬇️

    Since its release a month ago, Netflix’s history-marking series Adolescence is still sitting within the UK top ten. It’s clearly held swathes of us captivated, and left society grappling with the struggles young people are facing: a crisis of mental health, toxic masculinity, and online pressures leading to increased apathy, disconnection and loneliness. Stories like Adolescence, and statistics like the estimated number of NEET young people in the UK (which stands at 1 million – roughly the equivalent to the population of Birmingham), make it easy to be despondent. Today’s young people have been called a ‘lost generation’, but I’m resolute that at Resurgo, we can’t – and won’t – settle for that.  And we don’t have to. There’s so much reason for hope. Here’s a few encouragements that have stood out to me recently: ➡️ Our recently launched 2024 Impact Report, which demonstrates that despite facing significant barriers to work (more than two fifths of our trainees last year reported a mental health challenge, for example), young people are resilient, and The Spear Programme continues to be effective at helping them step into their potential. ➡️ The announcement that we’re launching The Spear Programme in two new locations, York and Merseyside! Yes, there’s growing need, but I’m so encouraged that our partners across the UK, both new and old, are committed to meeting it. ➡️ The Chancellor’s commitment to invest £1billion in “additional employment, health and skills support... to help people start or stay in work”. Being in work is a game changer, for the individual and society more widely, so it’s great that our government have recognised this as a priority. ➡️ Young people like Amber, whose poor mental health left her waking up at 4pm. With Spear’s help, she started building structure into her daily life and is now embarking on a Graphic Design and Interactive Media course at college.  She says: “Spear has shown me that I can do a lot more than I thought I could”. It’s so encouraging to see her shift in mindset. Amber recognised that she, (and I believe her entire generation), has a valuable contribution to make to society.     #lostgeneration #genz #youngpeople #youthemployment 

  • 🗓️ Planning the week ahead? Make sure to book time in to attend one of our Spear Celebrations, happening in various locations across the UK this week. These events are a real peak moment of the Spear Programme for our trainees, as they stand in front of their loved ones and supporters and talk about the impact Spear has had in their lives. An evening full of joy, with free nibbles and drinks! What more could you ask for? Book in for free here: https://ow.ly/1Z5f50VpVKp #celebration #youthemployment

  • 💬 “I know how to plan myself for an interview now. I know what to do, how to act...” - Jerome, Spear Hammersmith (not pictured). If you're struggling to get started on your career, the job interview can feel like a big hurdle to get over. To help our trainees feel confident and relaxed for any future interviews, today we ran"mock interviews" at our Spear Centres across the UK. It's a chance to run through interview questions with one of our experienced volunteers and get instant, helpful feedback. It gives our trainees a big confidence boost 💪 We're so grateful to all our wonderful volunteers who are giving up their time today to support our trainees! #youthemployment #interviewtips
