"Every young person with any needs should spend at least one session with Phoenix Rising: it makes you realise that there are groups that actually care for and nurture our precious young people xxxx"
Parent
"Phoenix Rising is the best thing that has happened for Carl, he loves going there and Adrian and Sarah have brought out the best in him especially with his art work, everyone who works there are really caring special people."
Parent
"Phoenix has been amazing, with all the activities you provide and your wonderful friendly staff, its made Ethan's' transition to adulthood so much easier for him and myself, knowing that he can attend Phoenix to have fun and be independent in a safe environment. I'm just gutted it's taken so long to find out about your services."
Mrs. Jeni Jones, Parent
"The difference in confidence in Howard since he started with you is amazing; the attention to the individual person’s strengths and needs would be incredibly difficult to find elsewhere”

I would like to tell you about Phoenix Rising, a group that has improved the lives of so many adults with disabilities and special needs living in and around Milton Keynes.
Phoenix Rising operates from different venues in Milton Keynes and provides a variety of creative and social based opportunities, such as Arts, Crafts, Photography, Media Production, Mindfulness, Performing Arts, Creative Enterprise, Music, and Out and About Activities in the community.
Those attending the sessions are supported and encouraged to enjoy new experiences and discover skills that they had not recognised. Their confidence grows alongside the friendships that they make!
Sessions are well supported by the staff, a dedicated, highly qualified, experienced and diverse team, who bring out the best in everyone. They work as a team, and when needed will support members on a one-to one basis.
My daughter is one of those who has been lucky enough to attend Phoenix Rising. She has been attending Phoenix Rising for 2 years and loves her days there.

Dear Adrian, Sarah, Karina, John, Anita and everyone,
Thank you so much for a wonderful time on Friday with A Night At the Musicals. It was a truly inspiring and wonderful evening, and Pete and I were both very impressed and moved in equal measure. The performing arts groups must have worked so hard to achieve their splendid performances, and there was obviously a lot of dedicated work from staff, parents and volunteers as well.
What we want to know now is, when can we buy a copy of the video? In fact, we might want several copies for family and friends! It was so enjoyable we haven’t stopped talking about it since!
Many, many thanks and best wishes to all,
Judy

Words cannot express how utterly amazing the work of Phoenix Rising is on these inspiring young people! truly bringing out the best in them! This years show was nothing short of magnificent and I am so grateful to everyone involved for their part in putting it all together...the confidence building is plain to see in the stage presence of each and every one!! Just when you think it couldn`t get any better!!....It jolly well does!! From my son Arry and I, `We Thank you!!`

I have to congratulate you and your team but in particular of course to all of the performers on such a successful evening. The commitment, passion and hard work from you all was clearly evident and it was infectious.
It was great to see a full house and the support that it received and in turn the audience received an enjoyable fun show which was delivered with professionalism and supported individuals to show case their talents and potential.
I think there are many of us who want to see what happens in the future and are looking forward to your next event.
You should all feel so proud – please pass my comments on to the performers and your colleagues. GREAT STUFF!!!!
