About Rise in Unity CIC

Rise in Unity CIC is a Community Interest Company based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
We believe in “The Strength in Unity”, creating safe spaces, delivering education, and building brighter futures for young people who need support the most.

In response to growing community needs, Rise in Unity was founded with a simple mission: to reduce youth crime, support children who are excluded or struggling in mainstream education, and provide a safe space for young people to learn, grow, and belong.

Starting with martial arts sessions at Ground Control BJJ, we have steadily developed into an Assessment and Learning Hub and community organisation offering education, wellbeing and youth programmes for local young people.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower young people through:

• Education and accredited qualifications
