UpRising

Supported by the Young Foundation, "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)."

Patrons: "Prime Minister David Cameron, Deputy Minister Nick Clegg and the Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband have all expressed support and interest in the UpRising programme."
