Hi, my name is Jamelia and I work at Spark as part of the Truth of The Youth group, HAF and help to support at other events too. Spark Oldham is a place that has provided so many opportunities for me, it's a place where I can voice my opinions whilst having fun and discussing things we want to tackle in society in Oldham. I've made a lot of friends and have a brilliant experience working here, not only have they provided me with a job but they have helped me to find a careers. The team here is lovely and I love supporting children during the school holiday sessions I am extremely grateful for Spark.

Hi, I’m Milli,  I’m  part of the youth voice group- Truth of The Youth.

Hi, I’m Milli,  I’m  part of the youth voice group- Truth of The Youth.

Being part of this group has given me the chance to start finding my voice and feel more confident sharing my thoughts and ideas. I’m learning that I can speak to people without feeling judged, which is really helping to build my confidence.

Since joining the Spark, I’ve already began doing things I thought I'd never see myself do such as speak in groups bigger then 3 people and I think this will really help me get to where I need to be.

 Hi, my name is Iain and I have been doing HAF for over a year now and I have recently joined Truth of The Youth. Truth of the youth has given me a comfortable space to share my opinion and my ideas of solutions for problems within the community of Oldham while also building new skills along the way. 

Supporting at HAF sessions has given me a place to see children's creativity shine like being involved in creating new games and arts and crafts.

Hi, I'm Ruby and I am a Young Leader at Spark and I am also part of the youth Voice group called Truth of The Youth and I help at the Junior Youth Club on a Monday night. The group has been a way to amplify my voice as well as other young people's voices. Since being part of the group, I have learnt that I can express my opinions without being judged and this has given me a real boost in my confidence. By being part of the Spark family, I now have the ability to speak in front of large groups and also take the lead when working with children and other young people. 

 Hi, I’m Cameron and I’ve been a young leader at SPARK since June 2024.

 Hi, I’m Cameron and I’ve been a young leader at SPARK since June 2024. 

I help to run the Junior Youth Club every Monday, partake in the Truth of the Youth group every Wednesday (a place for young people like myself to express our opinions and work towards a goal), and help with the HAF sessions and other bits and bobs that need some extra support. 

As a young person I feel that I can better communicate with people more my age, and so being a youth worker just makes sense. 

Besides working at SPARK, I’m a sixth form student working towards finishing my A-levels and going to Uni to be a social worker, where I’ll be able to continue supporting the youth, and hopefully carry on working alongside the fantastic team here at SPARK, as I honestly couldn’t wish for a more brilliant group of people to spend my time with.

 Hi, I’m Logan. 

I joined Spark through the Young Leader programme and attend The Truth youth group every Wednesday. 

I really enjoy being part of a group where I feel I can make changes for other young people and since joining, I've definitely felt a difference in my own confidence. 

I also work for Spark a few days a week with other tasks.

I also work for Spark a few days a week with other tasks. I’m usually the one brewing up. 

I love getting involved and supporting wherever I can!
