About the Event

RISE is a borough-wide festival created to empower young people, families, and underrepresented communities through creativity, wellness, sport, mentoring, and opportunity.

Born from the success of RollaDome’s Pamper Days, Urban Futures Festivals, and Pathways Expos, RISE brings together the most impactful elements of each into a single inclusive, high-energy event.

The event will feature:

• Wellness & pamper activities (massage, nails, mindfulness, sensory spaces)
• Creative tasters (arts, crafts, music, DJing, dance)
• Careers & training opportunities (apprenticeships, mentoring, CV support)
• SEND-friendly zones (quiet spaces, plants & gardening workshop, adapted activities)
• NHS health & wellbeing services (testing, advice, vaccinations)
• Youth showcases and performances

🎉 RISE is free and open to all — especially SEND young people, NEET youth, families, schools, and local community groups.
