WHAT IS RISE DAY?

RISE Up takes place every year in June, and is an opportunity for communities and organisations to RISE UP against youth unemployment. People from all walks of life will walk, climb, run, swim and row to raise funds. These funds will help support work readiness programmes, mentoring and work placements for marginalised young people throughout the UK.

RISE Day is organised and funded by the RISE UP charity which specialises in supporting some of the UK’s most vulnerable young people in finding meaningful careers. For the young people we work with, a job isn’t just a job – it’s security, shelter, financial independence, a sense of belonging and a hope for a better future.

We’re fundraising to create a paid apprenticeship for a marginalised young person a role that will provide direct employment and help us expand our impact to support even more young people. Total target - £20,000.

I will be supporting this cause with the Mam Tor & The Great Ridge Challenge and hope you can donate to support the incredible RISE UP mission!
