RISE UP, a leading charity dedicated to empowering young people, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with RSA Insurance and UK Youth. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide comprehensive support and resources for young individuals across the UK and in particular in Manchester.
In May 2024, RSA Insurance launched a groundbreaking initiative with UK Youth, aimed at providing vital life skills and opportunities for young people. This partnership focuses on nurturing talent, fostering resilience, and ensuring young people have the support they need to thrive at every stage of their lives. RISE UP is proud to join forces with these esteemed organisations to further extend the reach and impact of this initiative.
RISE UP has been selected as one of 4 key delivery partners in the North-West to deliver the Building Aspirations programme, a structured employability skills curriculum which also covers money management skills. We will support between 30 young people aged 18 - 24 to complete the programme. All young people that complete the programme will have the option to apply for a scholarship of up to £750 towards additional training courses or equipment.
