About us
Who we are
UpRising is a national youth leadership development organisation. We are recognised at Government-level as a pioneering charity championing the critical issues surrounding diversity, social mobility and equality.
Our important work provides routes to leadership and employment for 16-25 year olds who have talent, but lack opportunity. The mission is to break the cycle of unrepresentative power in the UK, by developing new, community-minded and socially-conscious leaders; so that our future decision-makers truly represent our diverse communities.
We want to change the face of power in this country - quite literally.
Our Programmes run in London, Luton, West Midlands, Cardiff City Region and Greater Manchester.
We have a growing movement of over 3,300 UpRising Alumni, who importantly, remain involved in their community and with our work.
