Conor Warren

Hi, I’m Conor – a passionate entrepreneur, speaker, mental health advocate, and, above all, a child of God, striving to live with purpose, compassion, and courage.

 

In 2020, driven by my own mental health experiences and a calling to make a difference, I founded Spark UK—now the UK’s leading youth-led mental health organisation. What began as a simple idea in school has grown into a national movement dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health and supporting young people through free, accessible resources, powerful campaigns, and honest conversations.

 

As CEO of Spark UK, I’ve been proud to lead initiatives that have reached thousands across the UK and beyond. Along the way, I’ve worked with incredible people including Dame Judi Dench, Dame Emma Thompson, and Stephen Fry, and helped the organisation earn recognition such as becoming Coronation Champions and winning the Rotary Young Citizen Award.

​

Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of speaking on global platforms including the Green Vision Summit in Malta, The Children’s Media Conference, and the London Design Biennale. Whether I’m talking about mental health, youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, or faith, I aim to speak truth with authenticity and hope.

 

Outside of Spark UK, I support councils and universities to improve youth wellbeing, and I’ve contributed to national conversations on mental health through media features on BBC, Sky News, The Guardian, The One Show, and more.

 

Entrepreneurship is another major part of my journey. In 2022, I led Growing Greetings—a sustainable student business—through the Young Enterprise Programme, taking us to the UK National Final and winning a sustainability award. These experiences taught me how to lead with heart, creativity, and resilience.

 

Above all, I’m passionate about empowering young people to discover their worth, use their voice, and believe they can create real change.

 

If you share that passion—or just want to connect—I’d love to hear from you.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Let’s spark something together.
