Why our work
is needed...

1 in 4 young people between 11-18 will
self-harm

70% of mental health conditions are established by the age of 18

Our young people are struggling.

They’re growing up in a volatile world, passing through a challenging education system, whilst being subjected to the immense pressures of social media. This is negatively impacting the mental health of a generation.

We see the best in young people and believe that

positive change
is possible!

Our Mission is to empower young people to rise to their challenges and build a life of possibility.

Our solution

Our 1-to-1 coaching sessions create a safe space where young people can find their voice and are heard.

Through these sessions they gain clarity and self-awareness. They set goals and are encouraged to take positive action.

This is a pre-emptive and proactive approach that does not wait for crisis point before offering young people the support they need.

Our work with young people is already having a massive impact on their mental health, confidence, relationships, and outlook on the future.

Absolutely fantastic

  • My son needed support with his self-esteem, and he completed a wonderful journal with David that had such a positive impact on his mental health and outlook to the future...

‘RISE with’ is our community led scheme, which harnesses the support of local organisations to provide life-changing experiences for young people.

Coaching provides the foundation of our work, but we want to go further, raising aspirations for our young people. We believe the way to do this is by exposing them to new experiences, which have the potential to be life changing.

Whether it’s drumming, boxing, parkour or cooking, these opportunities give young people access to new possibilities, life skills and passions.

By working with local organisations, we’re forging strong links to our community, creating great opportunities, and widening the impact our positive change can make.

About us

Our founder, David Duker, started his work with RISE in 2023.

It’s creation was the product of a lifetime of learning which led to the absolute conviction and belief in the power of coaching. This incredible process changed his own life when he was at his lowest ebb and now, he dedicates himself to sharing this opportunity with a generation who truly need it.

Through his work with our sister company, The Tally Ho Project, David has connected with over 15,000 young people, promoting the values of duty, unity, courage, resilience and positive action. Despite making a real impact it was clear to him that our young people needed more support. In 2023 he developed his own coaching program and RISE Youth Coaching was born!

We adore the energy and buzz of connecting with young people, supporting them to RISE, and then watching them build meaningful lives for themselves.
