RISE is a group for young adults aged 18 to 25 with SEND that runs Thursday evenings 5:45pm to 8:15pm in Whetstone.
We are based at Blaby and Whetstone Youth Club, but also accesses the wider community to create a broad, varied and exciting programme. The young adults are at the forefront of everything we do and drive the group forward…The staff facilitate their ideas, wants and needs.
We support and develop essential life skills. Our activities are designed to challenge their thinking, encourage problem-solving, and foster collaboration. By providing a supportive environment, we promote self-reliance and resilience, helping them to navigate real-world situations confidently. We focus on experiential learning, where participants are actively engaged in hands-on tasks that stimulate creativity and adaptability. Through these experiences, we aim to empower young adults to take initiative, make informed decisions, and develop a strong sense of self-worth and personal responsibility.
Spaces on the group are limited – we have new spaces as a result of some young people coming of age. If you feel that the group might be the right group for your young adult and, you would like more information, then please contact us.
Sessions are £5.00 per session, paid monthly (some additional activity costs).
