Make a real difference

By Volunteering at Spotlight you’ll make a real difference in the lives of young people who live in Tower Hamlets:

“Since coming to Spotlight, I have come a long way. Mohammed made me dream bigger and wanted the best for my future. I have a place at College for next September. I now feel more optimistic about the future and through the support of Spotlight colleagues, I feel like my life is back on track.”

-Spotlight Young Person

“I was always getting into trouble, you know… if you had nothing to do after school, trouble will come looking for you…Here, I can be myself. I have friends, I can make music the way I want. I feel supported and safe.”

-Spotlight Young Person

What our Volunteers say:

“I don’t see myself as an artist. I am not a good singer, but I like to be part of the creative process… I feel joy whenever I can help a young person achieve their creative potential.”

– Spotlight Volunteer

“If a young person knows that they’ve got somewhere that they feel comfortable and somewhere that they’re going to enjoy themselves, they’re going to want to come. As a volunteer, I want to make every young person feel like this is a place for them.”
