A consistent adult my son can trust
His mentor has been there every single week for 18 months. School noticed the change within a term. I can't recommend RISE highly enough.

Professional and warm
From the first meeting they involved us as parents. Safeguarding is clearly taken seriously and we always know what's happening.

Waiting list, but worth it
We waited about two months for a match, but the pairing was spot on. My daughter looks forward to every session.
