UP Project helps you Build UP, Fix UP and Link UP.

Who we are

UP is a collective of experienced facilitators and restorative justice practitioners.

What people say

This experience deeply impacted me, improving my ability to reflect and articulate my thoughts around systemic racism. The UP facilitators were incredibly warm and compassionate and enabled me to be vulnerable and speak freely. I feel more empowered to talk about racism and to recognise my role in being part of a system that is racist. I am hopeful that this process has made me a more active ally for my colleagues and my clients alike. The work UP delivers feels essential for all leadership teams in healthcare and is a worthwhile and I would argue necessary investment in the long-term sustainability of our NHS.

Fantastic event – really interesting speakers and brilliant conversations – thank you for creating this space.

It took us a while to find an organisation with the specialist skills that were needed to support us with a complex management situation - so I was really glad when we found the UP Project. We were impressed by the gentle and genuine way UP works and the whole process was really effective at transforming the conflict. We also had very positive feedback from the staff directly involved - who found their work with UP helpful, supporting them to think differently about systemic issues and feel more connected”

I thought the session was great and pitched just right for new learning and reflection. Also the ground that U.P. as an organisation are adopting in relation to radical respect and racism is impressive.
