ABOUT US
Built by an Educator, for Educators
Home of the RISE Up Movement
RISE Up didn’t start in a boardroom.
It wasn’t designed by committee.
Future Action was founded in 2020 by educator Neil Moggan. Its approaches were created and road-tested in the low socio-economic school where Neil worked, in a community with a 13-year difference in life expectancy depending on which side of the school’s main road children were born.
One idea. One question:
"What if we could create a different kind of education - where every young person felt safe, seen, and supported to thrive?"
Not in theory.
Not in policy documents.
But in real classrooms, with real children, facing real challenges.
→ So I lived it.
→ I trialled it.
→ I failed, learned, adapted, and built it again.
And then something special happened.
Other educators started to do the same.
Not copy it.
Own it.
Shape it for their context, their kids, their community.
That’s how RISE Up became a movement.
What is RISE Up?
RISE Up is an early intervention wellbeing and trauma-informed PE programme designed to help children feel safe, regulate their emotions, and thrive through movement, relationships, and self-care.
But more than a programme - RISE Up is a growing community of educators rewriting the way we support mental wellbeing in schools.
Who It's For
RISE Up exists for educators who are ready to make a difference - and know that change starts with connection.
→ The brave ones doing the quiet, daily work of care and courage.
→ The ones who believe that PE can be the heart of wellbeing.
→ The ones tired of off-the-shelf solutions - and ready to co-create change.
This isn’t consultancy.
This is community.
This isn’t about me.
It’s about us.
What Makes RISE Up Different?
We help each school co-create a bespoke wellbeing programme around the needs of its young people, educators and context. We then train the team, support implementation, measure what changes and help the school celebrate its impact.
Every strategy is:
-
Tried and tested in real schools
-
Rooted in lived experience
-
Backed by theory and brought to life with care
When you join RISE Up, you’re not buying a product.
Our evidence base includes more than 50 school case studies and impact reports, showing how educators have adapted the work to their own communities and giving schools and regional partners confidence in what is possible.
The Next Chapter
We’ve come a long way since that home office desk moment.
But this next phase? It needs more of you.
More brilliant educators and multi agency partners.
More lived experience.
More creativity, courage, and community.
If you believe schools should be places of belonging, not survival, where wellbeing and learning walk hand in hand...
Then you’re already one of us.
Come and build what comes next. RISE Up with us.
