SPARK Oldham may be a young organisation but our commitment to young people is already making an impact.
Through the SPARK young Leaders Programme, we now supported 50 young local 16-21 year olds in just under a year, helping them build confidence, develop skills, and begin meaningful career journeys.

As the end of the school year approaches, our Young Leaders have been busy designing and creating a range of thoughtful Teacher Thank You Gifts. More than just a gift, every purchase helps provide meaningful paid employment opportunities for local young people while giving them the chance to develop valuable life and work skills.

As the end of the school year approaches, our Young Leaders have been busy designing and creating a range of thoughtful Teacher Thank You Gifts. More than just a gift, every purchase helps provide meaningful paid employment opportunities for local young people while giving them the chance to develop valuable life and work skills.
Through planning, making, marketing and selling their products, our Young Leaders are building confidence, learning about customer service, developing enterprise and financial skills, and gaining real-world work experience in a supportive environment.
Whether you're thanking a teacher, teaching assistant or tutor, these handcrafted gifts are a wonderful way to show your appreciation while supporting the next generation of young entrepreneurs in our community.

We wanted to offer bespoke printed items to people at affordable prices that provide some income to support our other initiatives at Spark

We set up these events to build a buddy as something families can do together that isn't too expensive and results in something each person taking part can keep. It also generates funds to support Spark and our future enterprises

A short video from one of our Founders discussing the Young Leader Programme

Take a look at some of our previous Young Leaders and see the impact being a Young Leader has had on their lives.

We have over 50 young people aged between 16 - 21 who have been working alongside our provision, we need your support.
Look at our young leaders programme from last summer.

SPARK Oldham are looking for informal mentors to provide personal support, assistance, encouragement and inspiration to our Young Leaders:
As an informal mentor you will support our Young Leaders to set goals and help them improve their life opportunities. This can be around their aspirations for the future, such as education, employment and training (EET). Or soft skills like motivation, confidence and communication skills.
