About us
Why some of Britain’s most talented 19-25 year olds have committed to changing their communities for the better.
Over the course of the programme UpRisers receive training from leading journalists, politicians and activists. They also run their own social action projects (previous participants have successfully lobbied for legislation change, started their own social enterprises and been elected to local government).
The programme is designed to create future leaders in politics and public life by developing Britain’s next generation of public and community leaders. It recruits talented young people from diverse backgrounds and equips them with the life skills, experience and confidence to become the leaders of tomorrow and change their communities for the better.
