We are pleased to announce we have finalised our three strategic aims for the next 3 years. The theme for our new Strategic Plan is investing in our future; we do this by investing in our foundations, our customers and our growth. This investment is made up of time, energy, focus and where required, finance. It is about putting love, care and attention into Spark2Life so that we can best deliver our vision and mission. These three aims are:

1. We will empower young people for sustainable futures
   To do this we will: expand our presence; develop trusted relationships; design and deliver tailored progression pathways and deepen strategic partnerships.
2. We will contribute to creating safer and more resilient communities
   To do this we will: provide platforms for parents and adults; upskill professionals and other trusted adults and provide accessible, culturally competent wellbeing support.
3. We will influence policy and systemic change
   To do this we will: advocate for reforms; build relationships with policymakers, service providers, and stakeholders; share evidence and best practice generated through our outcome monitoring framework and share best practice models using our monitoring framework.

Our three strategic aims overlap and link together. In the first year of the plan, we need to get the essentials right. As we do, we are then able to better support our beneficiaries and demonstrate the improvement in impact. If we get our essentials right and have clarity around the impact we have, then that gives us the platform to invest in our future by looking for opportunities to grow and develop, helping positively impact on more young people and ensure an even more sustainable Spark2Life for the future.
