UpRising featured in The Observer: profiled as one of Britain's 50 New Radicals!
February 20, 2012
UpRising is proud to announce that we have been recognised by NESTA and The Observer as one of Britain's 50 most exciting social visionaries.
The first New Radicals awards have won praise from all three party leaders, with the winners hailed as the best of innovative social thinking.
David Cameron has praised the awards for highlighting the positive work of the Big Society, saying 'what they’ve done is inspiring. They’ve made projects happen, bringing about genuine and positive change, and they are building the bigger, stronger society that I want us all to be a part of.'
