We’re thrilled to announce that RISE UP has joined the Elevate Partnership, which is administered by Salford CVS to deliver a brand new programme called 'Aspire To Inspire' in Salford, having been successful in their latest funding round. This exciting initiative is designed to support young people aged 16-30 who face barriers to employment, empowering them with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed.

Aspire to Inspire will focus on helping young people from marginalised groups, including care leavers, neurodiverse individuals, and those from BAME backgrounds. Through 1:1 mentoring, group sessions, and meaningful workplace placements, we’re committed to unlocking potential and transforming lives.

For our CEO, Roman Dibden, this partnership is particularly significant:

"Starting my career as an apprentice in Salford shaped the person I am today. It’s where I learned resilience, ambition, and the power of community. To now return to Salford with RISE UP and help others on their journey is truly special. The Elevate Partnership is a fantastic concept, and we’re excited to work with local organisations to inspire the next generation of talent." Over the years, RISE UP has worked with industry-leading employers such as Office For National Statistics, Direct Line Group & Talent to support over 1,000 young people. With Aspire to Inspire, we’re bringing this experience and passion to Salford, offering tailored employability workshops, mentoring programs, and work placements to support participants in achieving their career goals.

How You Can Help? We’re calling on local businesses and organisations to get involved! Whether you can offer your time, host a workplace visit, or provide a work placement, your support can make a real difference. Together, we can empower Salford’s young people and create a stronger, more inclusive workforce.

Stay tuned for more updates about Aspire to Inspire and the impact we’re making right here in Salford.
