Resurgo is taking part in the UK’s biggest match funding campaign, the Big Give Christmas Challenge.

From 12 noon on Tuesday 3 December, all donations* made online via the Big Give will be doubled, meaning one donation has twice the impact.

Resurgo has a target of raising £70,000 in just one week. Donations will be matched from a pledge pot, made up of pledges from generous individuals as well as a large donation from our Big Give Champion, EQ Investors.

All funds raised will go towards opening a new Spear centre, transforming the lives of even more young people. Resurgo’s 2018 Big Give Christmas Challenge surpassed its target and raised £61,858 towards opening Spear North Kensington, which has now supported over 70 young people.

The Spear Programme has worked with over 6,000 young people, supporting them with the hard and soft workplace skills necessary to succeed in employment. We know that all young people can overcome the challenges they face to get into meaningful employment; we aim to reach even more in 2020.
