For almost 30 years Motiv8 has supported young people aged 9 to 19 (25 with SEND) in Gosport, Fareham, Portsmouth, and Havant – and across Hampshire. Grounded in lived experience, always free, and based within their neighbourhoods our work is place based and delivered through eight interconnected strands that ‘wrap around’ all parts of a young person’s life: Youth Voice & Influence, Youth in Community, Youth & Family, Youth Mentoring, Youth Health & Wellbeing, Youth Skills, Youth Futures, and Youth Hubs.

A new National Lottery Heritage Fund project, that will explore, research, and co-create a more contemporary and representative narrative of Portsmouth’s (and surrounding areas) LGBTQ+ heritage. Led by Y Services, in partnership with Portsmouth City Archives and Hampshire Cultural Trust, the project will: • Train young people and volunteers in heritage research skills • Record oral histories • Document the history and growth of Portsmouth Pride • Deliver exhibitions, events, and community learning We believe this project offers an exciting opportunity for local organisations, community centres, groups, and local residents to get involved.
