Introducing Arise Brentwood: A New Chapter for Youth Support in Our Community
Early Summer marked the official rebranding of DRCC Youth to Arise Brentwood. This new identity reflects our commitment to positive youth development, community belonging and a supportive youth environment for young people across Brentwood. We’re excited to grow our services and strengthen the support offered to families and stakeholders.

A New Identity Rooted in Community
In early June, we completed the rebranding of DRCC Youth to Arise Brentwood — a step that reflects both our growth and our long‑term commitment to young people across Brentwood. While our name has changed, our purpose is still the same: to provide a supportive youth environment where every young person feels known, valued and encouraged.
This rebrand strengthens our identity as an inclusive youth organisation focused on positive youth development and community values. It also helps us communicate more clearly with our young people, stakeholders, funding partners and families who rely on our work.
Why Arise Brentwood?
The name Arise captures the heart of what we aim to do — help young people rise in confidence, resilience and hope. It reflects our belief that every young person deserves someone who will listen to them, believe in them and consistently show up for them.
Our vision stays unchanged
We envision a Brentwood where every young person is known, valued, heard and supported to realise their potential; where families are strengthened rather than isolated; where communities work together to nurture, protect and empower the next generation; and where timely youth work creates hope before crisis becomes inevitable.
This vision guides everything we do, from mentoring and wellbeing support to community engagement and partnership work.
Continuing Our Commitment
Although our name has evolved, our dedication to the young people of Brentwood has not. Over the coming months, we will be expanding our services, strengthening our partnerships and creating more opportunities for young people to flourish.

We’re excited about this new chapter and look forward to sharing updates as our programmes grow.
