Through UpRising I visited local projects and learnt about how they work. I am now a Trustee at the Bedford Open Door service, I am working as a self-employed mentor at a school, and I aim to stand as a local Councillor at the local elections.” Want to know more? Visit our FAQs page Apply now at http://www.uprising.org.uk/apply/uprising-application-form-201314
