🌟 One group place left on our Social Skills Programme! 🌟

Rise in Unity CIC is delivering a 10-week Social Skills Programme on behalf of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. We already have four primary schools involved, and it’s going really well so far.

We have space for one final group of up to 10 children. Sessions can take place at your school or at our premises.

The programme uses arts and crafts, team games and fitness activities to help children build confidence, communication, positive relationships and social skills. Children don’t need an EHCP or a SEND diagnosis to take part. It may suit children who would benefit from a little extra support or intervention.

There is no cost to the school. The programme is funded through the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership. You can view the official West Yorkshire Combined Authority decision record, which lists Rise in Unity CIC as a commissioned delivery partner, here:

West Yorkshire Social Skills Programme is a fully funded 10-week programme for primary school children aged 7+, supporting confidence, communication, emotional regulation, relationships and resilience.

It’s finally up! 🎉 Our Rise in Unity sign is on the wall, it’s only taken us a year to get it there 😂

A little sign, but a lovely milestone for our team and everyone who makes RIU what it is. 💚

😂 We absolutely love seeing our young people getting creative!

They made this video themselves because they want the Youth Hub to attract more young people, and they’ll do whatever they can to help Rise in Unity reach those who could benefit from a safe, welcoming place to go. ❤️

Their confidence, creativity and willingness to get involved mean so much to us. This is what youth work is all about—giving young people a voice and allowing them to take ownership of their space.

Well done, lads—you did a brilliant job! 👏🏽🎤

☀️ WEEK 3 OF SUMMER CAMP ☀️

Another brilliant week at Rise in Unity! 🙌

Week 3 has been packed with activities, laughter, new experiences and plenty of opportunities for our young people to build confidence, make friends and have fun. 💙

From sports and games to creative activities and time spent together, it’s been great seeing everyone getting involved and enjoying themselves.

We can’t believe we’re heading into our final week already! 🥹

A huge thank you to all the young people who have made Week 3 another fantastic one, and to our team for keeping the energy going every day! 👏

Bring on Week 4! 🔥

Another successful week of our HAF Summer Camp! 🌞💙

What an amazing week we’ve had, filled with laughter, new experiences and young people stepping outside their comfort zones.

🎤 Some of our young people found the confidence to sing karaoke in front of everyone.

🥋 We even had one young person take part in martial arts who, at the start of summer, wouldn’t even look inside the dojo. A huge achievement!

A special mention to Foxy, who leads our martial arts sessions with such enthusiasm. He has a fantastic way of motivating young people while teaching them important life skills such as discipline, respect, resilience and confidence. He also got the young people working hard in the gym with some personal training sessions! 💪

🎨 Our wonderful Dee kept everyone creative by helping the young people make and paint their own clay models, which they absolutely loved.

🏉 We were also lucky enough to receive tickets from the Kirklees HAF Team to watch the Huddersfield Giants. For many of our young people, it was their first rugby match and a brilliant opportunity to experience something completely new.

At Rise in Unity, it’s about so much more than keeping children occupied during the holidays. It’s about building confidence, creating opportunities, encouraging healthy lifestyles and making memories that last.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff, the Kirklees HAF Team and all of our incredible young people for another fantastic week.

Bring on Week 3! 💙🙌

From preparing and serving fresh, nutritious meals 🥗, to taking part in our fire drill and learning how to stay safe 🚒, every day is packed with opportunities to learn, build confidence and have fun.

We’re so proud of how our young people have worked together, supported one another and got involved in every activity.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers who make it all possible.

Here’s to another brilliant week ahead! ☀️

It’s fantastic to see the impact the TRU Community Fund has had across our community. 🎥

We’re incredibly grateful to have been supported to create our new kitchen, giving us another fantastic space to help young people develop life skills, enjoy healthy meals and feel part of our community.
