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.

We’re The Spring – a cross-artform and heritage organisation that brings people together to be inspired, get creative and try something new. We believe that arts, culture and heritage have the power to change lives, and we’re here to help make that happen. Our hub, for creativity, learning and cultural opportunities for the community and beyond, is based in Havant Town and home to a 145 seater studio theatre, museum collection, workshop spaces and art studio. We also have key focuses on Creative Wellbeing, Place-making, Children and Young People and Opening Up of the Creative Industries.

SPUD is a charity focused on arts, architecture, and education committed to creating experiences that foster confidence, support career development and strengthen communities. Our approach is collaborative, meaningful and ambitious. We champion the voices of individuals and underrepresented groups, ensuring they are heard within our communities and partnerships. ​ Driven by a focus on success, SPUD takes a professional approach to deliver impactful projects. ​ We empower people to create, connect, and share, recognizing that even small actions can spark lasting joy and positive change. ​  We are for inclusive and diverse audiences through participation in creative activities. Being inspirational and creating joy.
