Our Mission

Key Projects at Merton Rise

There are four key projects at Merton RISE. These are:

Educational Programs and Training:

We believe that education is a key driver for social change. At Merton Rise, we offer a variety of educational programs, from after-school clubs for children to vocational training for adults. These programs aim to equip participants with the skills they need to succeed and contribute to the community.

Community Empowerment and Engagement:

Through grassroots initiatives, we work directly with local community members to identify and address pressing issues. This includes workshops, consultations, and collaborative action groups where everyone has a voice in the direction of the project.

In partnership with local businesses and organizations, we provide job training, internships, and direct employment opportunities for residents. This ensures that local talent can thrive and that people have the skills needed for sustainable, meaningful work.

Employment and Skills Development:

Social Integration and Community Cohesion:

We host programs that promote social cohesion, with a focus on bringing together people from diverse backgrounds. From cultural exchange events to integration projects, we aim to foster understanding, empathy, and cooperation among Merton residents.
