Born in Blackburn.Made to Rise.

Building confidence, connections and opportunities through sport, education and community activities.

WELCOME TO RISE

A community where everyone has the chance to RISE.

RISE began at Corporation Park with a football, a group of children and a simple idea: give young people more opportunities to get outdoors, build friendships and feel part of something. Today that idea brings our community together through sport, education and shared experiences.
