SparkFish is a local charity based in Redhill that exists to inspire young people in faith, hope and love. SparkFish has three strands of work:

1 Hope – supporting young people during times of challenge through mentoring, ‘drawing and talking’, small groups, and transitions support for year 6’s.

2 Think! – we create spaces where young people can reflect mindfully on their lives and the world around them.

3 Learn – we support RE provision in schools by providing seasonal events, lessons and assemblies.

We greatly value the opportunity through the HSYA grant to offer mentoring sessions to young people free of charge in schools.

Young people who have engaged with our mentoring programme say:

“You can tell them anything and they always find a way to help.”

“I like how I can be here unjudged. I have learnt how to view stuff more positively.”

We firmly believe our mentoring with young people improves self-esteem, increases resilience levels and creates healthier young people at secondary school age and beyond.
