R!SE Up
RISE with’ is our community led scheme, which harnesses the support of local organisations to provide life-changing experiences for young people. Coaching provides the foundation of our work, but we want to go further, raising aspirations for our young people. We believe the way to do this is by exposing them to new experiences, which have the potential to be life changing. Whether it’s drumming, boxing, parkour or cooking, these opportunities give young people access to new possibilities, life skills and passions.
Project Overview
Your support will enable R!SE UP to bring life-coaching and mentoring to young people, and give access to vital emotional and psychological support to those who need it most in our community.
This is a powerful opportunity for you and local businesses to create real, lasting impact.
We have seen the power of life-coaching when working with young people who are experiencing a higher risk of poverty, social exclusion, discrimination, violence and abuse. We’re passionate about widening the support that we’re able to offer, reaching more local young people.
The funding will also facilitate access to professional counselling and trauma-informed therapy for those young people who need additional emotional and psychological support.
We have built strong, trusted relationships with local schools, enabling us to reach young people within our community, and we are proud of the dedicated coaching centres we’ve created.
These safe and supportive spaces means young people can focus and grow through our coaching programmes.

Ward Buddies
