The Spark of Youth: Igniting Change with Conor Warren

In this episode of the Spark Changemakers Podcast, Nikki Giant sits down with Conor Warren, an 18-year-old entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and CEO of Spark UK.

Conor shares his inspiring journey of founding a national organisation at just 14 years old, dedicated to sparking conversations around youth mental health. Discover how a group of ambitious teenagers turned their frustrations with the mental health system into a movement that now reaches over 300 schools across the UK.

Conor talks about the challenges of being a young leader, the importance of creativity, and the power of youth-led initiatives. He also discusses the role of social media, the pressures young people face today, and his hopes for the future of youth entrepreneurship.
