Inspire+

Our education programmes and wellbeing service change young lives for the better. With your support we can do even more.

 

What is Inspire +?

Inspire + is a group Inspire of supporters that help our charity to provide life-changing interventions for young people by pledging to donate £1,000 each year. With their support, we’re able to reach young people in our community who might have otherwise fallen through the cracks.

Transform lives

Could you help us change young lives for the better? Your support will help us continue to provide:

• Wellbeing counselling so young people can develop coping strategies to overcome challenges;
• Educational programmes that improve confidence, attitude to learning and raise aspirations;
• One-to-one career coaching to provide personalised support and help young people transition into work;
• Free-to-access sports sessions that keep children active, while giving them the skills they need for the future

With your help, we can tackle the issues young people are facing and help them build a bright future.

Thank you to…

We are so grateful to our grant providers for helping us to make a much-needed difference to the young people in Suffolk through our life-changing work. We would like to extend a particular thank you to:

 

 

“My decision to become an Inspire+ member goes back to my time visiting a group of youngsters in Stowmarket nearing the end of their Team Programme course with Inspire. I spoke to all of them, but to one boy in particular, and when I asked him what was the one thing that he really valued from the course, he replied “my residential.”  I asked him what he meant and he replied “this was the first time in my life that I’d been taken out of my comfort zone and my environment and challenged. I learnt about teamwork, responsibility and what it meant to me and others.”  I asked him how he was going to use that experience and he replied: “It has given me the belief to do so much more as I’m fed up of just being myself.”

So when Inspire asked me to become an Inspire+ member, I thought that if I could give one other young person the same opportunity and possibly change their life for the better, it was an easy decision to say yes.”

“Having had an inner city upbringing with very few privileges, one of the most positive things I was exposed to in my mid-teens were programmes similar to those being offered by Inspire. Now as the owner of a successful and strongly branded International company, I still draw from the life experiences gained and for this reason, I feel especially privileged to be a member of the Inspire +, sponsoring and encouraging young adults along a similar path!”
