Rise2Thrive and Trailblazer
At Up For Yorkshire, we believe that real change begins when people feel supported, empowered, and understood. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Rise2Thrive Trailblazer ,a unique partnership of 35 local organisations across York and North Yorkshire, each bringing something special to the table. Together, we’re delivering a people-first programme designed to help individuals overcome barriers and take positive steps forward. Whether someone is struggling with housing, finances, wellbeing, or confidence, Rise2Thrive offers flexible, personalised support tailored to their journey.
How does it work?
Every participant starts by meeting with a Keyworker, someone who listens, understands, and helps figure out the best way forward. From there, the Keyworker becomes a trusted mentor, offering one-to-one guidance and connection throughout the journey. If any specific challenges come up, participants can be referred to a wide range of practical interventions, everything from counselling and debt advice to skills training and wellbeing activities.
What makes Rise2Thrive different is its flexibility, there’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. Most people stay on the programme for around 3 to 6 months, but support can continue for longer if needed. The aim is always the same: to meet people where they are and help them.
