“RISE UP” is a project aimed at boosting mental health, well-being, confidence and resilience through music. Initially targeting the transition year groups going from primary to secondary school (Year 6 - Year 7).

​

Right now, children's well-being is at a ten year low. When problems start, they can't get help. When things get too much, they are put on a waiting list. We want young people to be happy and feel good about themselves, to be able to fight and not give up. What is well-being? Well-being is about how we are doing and how we feel about our lives. Music can play a vital role here.

​

Over the next three years we would like more schools to take part and to extend the project to include Year 5 and Year 8 students across the county. The two year groups involved in this pilot will be invited to take part in the following
year’s project as year 7/8 students. This will be beneficial for them and the continuity of the programme.
