What people say...

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for giving my daughter and niece the opportunity to take part in such a dynamic holiday programme. They loved it, they learned so much new information and my daughter came back looking so happy.”

What people say...

My son, came home yesterday with so much enthusiasm and information about his day. He has ADHD and if things aren’t interesting enough, or informative then he has lost focus-so well done to all of you and your team for making this work. I look forward to picking him up later and hearing all about his day.”

What people say...

Frankly, I can’t speak highly enough about our recent trip to a Rise Up workshop at Mulberry UTC in Bow. All the volunteers were incredibly welcoming and supportive of the girls; furthermore, the activities were very well structured, encouraging teamwork and demonstrating real life STEM applications in the world of broadcasting to the children very successfully. The quiz show at the end was such a great idea – a really fun way to end an amazing day that the children couldn’t stop talking about on the bus home!”
