Creating Lasting Change

Our work goes beyond delivering workshops. 

We’ve seen young people:

Many of the young people we initially supported have chosen to give back by volunteering with Arising Youth CIC, helping to deliver workshops, mentor participants, and inspire the next generation. 

This demonstrates the lasting impact of our programmes and the strength of our community. 

Stories of Impact

From Participant to Volunteer

One young person first attended an employability workshop to improve their confidence and job-search skills. 

After completing the programme, they began volunteering with Arising Youth CIC, supporting community events and mentoring other young people starting their own journey. 

Their story reflects the ripple effect of investing in young people’s potential. 

Building Confidence

Many participants told us they left our workshops feeling more confident, motivated, and better prepared for interviews and employment. 

For several young people, simply having someone believe in them became the turning point they needed.
