RISE 2023 – Impact Case Study

The RISE funding scheme, offering support for young creatives in the South East and parts of the South West of England, has been instrumental in the artistic journeys of Komas, Dani, and Daisy. In this case study we will explore their experiences on the first iteration of the programme in 2023, which awarded 21 young people aged 13 – 25 £500 micro investments to support and enhance their creative practices. Note – the amount of recipients and eligibility criteria may change from year to year, for 2025 the funding is available for creatives aged 13 – 30.

These stories highlight the importance of programmes like RISE in nurturing the next generation of creatives. The programme’s first year saw a wealth of talent, ambition, and originality, with recipients like Dani, Daisy, and Komas using the funds to achieve creative goals, improve their confidence, and take steps towards their artistic futures.
