“Working with Motiv8 South is such a rewarding experience. I have seen the work that they do first hand and it is so worth while. All of the different workshops and events they run target so many young people and steer them in the right direction. When helping with events, I have had the chance to meet so many young people who benefit from the services they provide. It is a great feeling walking away from a session or event knowing that you’ve made a difference to someone’s day/ week/ life. ”

Jon’s 106km Isle of Wight challenge… Raising over £1000!
“I took part in the Isle of Wight Challenge in April walking 106 km continuously around the perimeter of the island. I completed this in 21 hrs and raised over £1,100 for the Havant youth club. I really like Motiv8, the support they provide young people and their families is so valuable. Growing up locally in Gosport I can relate to some of the difficulties the children face at home and in education. I have seen first hand just how positive and impactful Motiv8 services are for young people volunteering at the youth club. I look forward to continuing to support Motiv8 in the future.”
