Arise & Thrive is a community-based wellbeing programme delivered by Born 4Purpose Ministries CIC, supporting children and young people facing disadvantage, poor mental health, social isolation, and limited opportunities.
As registered professionals in the Social & Healthcare sectors, we are concerned about the increasing numbers of children and young people across England who are experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, and emotional distress. Many face barriers linked to poverty, adverse childhood experiences, special educational needs, family difficulties, and reduced access to positive activities and support networks.
Through Arise & Thrive, we provide safe, nurturing, and inclusive opportunities where children and young people can improve their emotional well-being and resilience by participating in therapeutic creative activities, outdoor experiences and personal development programmes. Our additional use of mentors, results in participants feeling understood, valued, and empowered to continue to arise despite adversity and to thrive by using shared strategies and their skills and abilities.
