About Us

Established in 1993, Rise Phoenix works with children and young people in London and Tanzania. Over the last five years we have particularly focused on developing projects with the communities local to our office and workshop base in Camden. By creating strong links with local schools and community groups Rise Phoenix is able to identify and help address the particular needs of children and young people in the area.

Rise Phoenix collaborates with a wide range of high quality artists and workshop leaders, all of whom have particular skills in nurturing the potential of children and young people. We deliver projects which integrate the arts in inspiring and innovative ways. All projects aim to pass on skills and ideas that local organisations can continue to develop themselves.

Experience of working with different cultures and nationalities in The Balkans, Africa, South America and India has equipped Rise Phoenix artists with the understanding to work with and develop creativity and cohesion within the rich mix of cultures here in London.

Projects in London take place in housing estates, schools, libraries, urban green spaces and in Rise Phoenix's own workshop space.

Projects abroad are developing along the same path as those in London. Working in partnership with local organisations who understand the needs and issues of particular communities and groups of young people, Rise Phoenix responds to direct requests, delivering a programme of projects which leave a legacy and sense of continuity afterwards.
