Get involved
Raising Your Game is working with its young people to increase their confidence and give them the skills they need to keep themselves out of trouble and take the right path in life.
There are lots of ways you can get involved and support Raising Your Game!
If you are a young person and would like to get involved with the project, you can use our search page to find a group near you.
If you work with a young person you think could benefit from the project, or if you are a parent, friend or carer, you can:
- Sign up to our quarterly newsletter.
- Find out more about our communication awareness training sessions.
- Be an ambassador and support the project.
- Tell a young person you know about Raising Your Game.
- Tell your colleagues about Raising Your Game and how they can get involved.
- Join a local project board to listen to young people and help get their voices heard.
- Meet a Raising Your Game group and find out how you can support their work.
Volunteering opportunities
We are also looking for volunteering opportunities and community participation projects for the young people to take part in. If you have an opportunity available, we would love to hear from you. Just email us at raisingyourgame@mencap.org.uk
”I have learned better social skills… it’s taught me how to get on with people and respect other people more. I feel I can trust people there and don’t feel on my guard. I hope it will help me get a new job, as it shows I have experience and that I can commit to something.”
