Wise up, Rise up, is aimed to give our younger generation the wisdom and confidence to rise above anything life may throw at them. Our course 4, weekly sessions are aimed to equip participants  with the necessary tools and mindset to thrive in their future and follow their true passion and potential. We hope to inspire a positive attitude towards self learning and building towards their future whilst giving them the confidence to be themselves in any situation..

This course is accessible for both boys and girls between the ages of 10-16, we appreciate this is a big age gap but we hope the elders will learn from helping the youngsters, while the youngster will benefit from communication with the elder children.

We encourage parents to use this as a drop off session, this helps encourage your children to step out of their comfort zone however parents are able to attend the session if they wish.

Each session will have a minimum of 2 adults attending, all parents, and have experienced working with children.

The 4 week course will cost £50 per student and include light refreshments each session and a certificate of completion. This helps us to cover costs of the tutors and materials, and any left over helps toward maintaining and progressing the project and sites.
