For RISE Projects, the Haringey Community Expo 2023 was not just an ordinary event; it served as a significant platform to demonstrate our ongoing dedication to empowering young people and cultivating meaningful connections that align with our mission. As we stood proudly at our booth, we had the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals actively contributing to community building and creating safe spaces.
Our team passionately conveyed our mission, emphasising the enhancement of empowerment, skills, and the development of connections among young people and their families. We discussed the importance of establishing secure environments for skill development and fostering positive relationships within our community.
The expo provided an opportunity to openly celebrate our achievements. From delivering Knife Crime Awareness training to over 250 young individuals to successfully implementing mentoring programs for young BAME women, to providing continuing support to struggling families.
Being honoured with the Haringey Impact Award for Community Safety this year was a significant achievement. This award does not just belong to us; it symbolises the collaborative efforts of our team and the community. It further motivates our determination to continue making a positive impact. The Haringey Community Expo 2023 was not merely an event for RISE Projects; it evolved into a celebration of empowerment, acknowledgment, and a shared commitment to a brighter future for Haringey's young people. The expo acted as a bridge, strengthening connections with the very individuals we are dedicated to serving.
