From midday Tuesday 3rd December until midday Tuesday 10th December, every pound you give to Motiv8 through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, as well as the one it is matched with, will go directly to meeting essential costs supporting young people in need across our community.

For more than 25 years Motiv8 has been unlocking brighter futures for young people

Working across Portsmouth, Havant, Gosport and Fareham we recognise that there are many factors which can lead to instability at home, a person needing support around their emotional health or wellbeing, or place young people and their families at increased risk of becoming involved in anti-social behaviour or crime. We take a place led and person-centred approach, building on strengths, and providing positive ‘life chances’ to help all we work with to thrive.

How Does Motiv8 Support Amazing Young People?

Our support for amazing Young People comes in many forms.

Our approach is community based and youth led. Motiv8 creates the conditions for young people and families to access the support that is right for them, at different stages of their journey. We work with young people, aged 9 – 19 years old, and up to the age of 25 for those living with SEND.
