Our report shows that the issues raised in our Youth Jobs Gap series are not inevitable. Young people who take part in Resurgo's Spear Programme move into employment at twice the national rate, showing that Resurgo Spear gets more young people into work and gets them there quicker.
Our Investment team works shoulder-to-shoulder with our portfolio organisations to help them become even stronger. We help them to define which young people they can serve well, what outcomes they'll deliver and how they'll monitor and improve performance as they grow. We support them to develop an impact strategy and delivery plan, and to build a great leadership team and sustainable organisation.
We match our organisations with experts from our pro bono network. They donate their time and skills to drive organisation performance through support with business planning, organisational structure, finance, leadership coaching and performance management.
We provide long-term core funding so that our organisations can build their capacity to consistently deliver high quality programmes as they grow. As a result, our charities are able to strengthen the core activities needed to get bigger and better.
