Unlocking potential with Spark 2Life through Apprenticeship Levy gifting
At Acacium Group, we believe in creating opportunities that empower individuals and uplift communities. Through our Apprenticeship Levy gifting programme, we’ve partnered with Spark2Life to support meaningful career development and unlock potential for those who need it most.
The Apprenticeship Levy allows us to reinvest unspent funds into talent development beyond our own organisation, benefiting the local communities we serve. By gifting these funds to Spark2Life, we enable the charity to upskill its workforce and create new pathways to employment for individuals who might not otherwise have access to these opportunities.
Making a difference
Established in 2006, Spark2Life is a Black-led, community-driven charity dedicated to preventing harm and promoting life. Operating across London and Kent, they provide trauma-informed mentoring, counselling and training programmes that reduce the risk of offending and exclusions.
Their services include:
- Mentoring and casework in the community and schools
- Counselling and employability support
- Community engagement and advocacy
- Professional development courses for parents, carers and practitioners
Through these initiatives, Spark2Life empowers individuals to make positive life choices and fosters safer, more inclusive communities.
“I am incredibly excited to be starting the apprenticeship which has been generously funded by Acacium Group. After joining Spark2Life three years ago and taking on numerous roles within the organisation, it’s brilliant to now be able to take on the Communications Officer role with the training and guidance of the apprenticeship from Purplebeard. I’m looking forward to seeing where this apprenticeship will take me next in my career!” – Beth Deer, Communications Officer.
