Inspire - Youth Charity. We believe in youth.

Logo

We are a dedicated youth charity, empowering under 25s to achieve a better future.

Working closely with young people, we support their personal development and wellbeing, as well as helping them overcome obstacles and progress onto professional pathways.

With almost 10 years behind us, we’re looking forward to a future where we can have an even greater impact on young lives and their communities. More opportunities, more friendships, more understanding, more services and more happiness.

Our education programmes change lives, tackling a range of issues that young people face. Our students learn new skills and qualities thelping them gain important skills for work and life.

We also offer ‘free to access’ sport sessions to provide activities for children & young people to take part in without the barrier of cost, keeping them active and engaged outside of the school gates.

We help young people grow their confidence, build new skills, deal with adversity and find their path in life.

“Our purpose is to help you find your purpose."

 

Prince's Trust Team programme

Our Prince's Trust Team Programme is a 12-week experience for 16-25-year-olds across Suffolk & North Essex who aren’t currently in work or education to build their confidence and move forward into something positive.

You will take part in new experiences, meet young people in the same boat as you, take part in a work placement, plan and complete a community project, grow in confidence, self-esteem and motivation. If this sounds like you or someone you know, get in touch with our team to discuss your options. If you're not sure about your next steps, this could be the perfect course for you!  

Travel to and from programme provided and this does not affect any benefits that you receive. Find out more here.

 

Sport at Inspire Suffolk 

Our team of experienced sports coaches deliver a variety of engaging sports sessions across Suffolk to develop technical skills, game understanding and most importantly, confidence and social skills that develop self-esteem and motivation to continue playing.

A lot of the work we undertake uses the power of sport to engage as many children and young people in various programmes. We are committed to developing a much wider offering that encourages those interested in learning other sports such as tennis, basketball, and handball just as much opportunity. We also offer a range of disability sport too.
