What our trainees say

"At Spear, I spoke to people around my age that are going through similar things in life, and I realised I'm not alone. Thinking about my next steps, I know that I'm capable."

Halifa, works at Nando's

“Spear made a huge difference to my life. I'd forgotten how to socialise with people and I didn’t believe in myself. Spear built up my confidence again.

Bailey, apprentice at the Royal Parks

"Spear is the best thing I've ever done, and it's changed me as a person, and I have to thank my coaches for that, for challenging us to do our best."

Lacye, working at a football club
