Encouraging young people and their families to live WELL.
We are a youth organisation based in the beautiful Peak District, dedicated to inspiring courage, spirit, faith, and hope through meaningful adventure and creative expression.
Ascend Next Level became a Community Interest Company in November 2024. A decade ago we recognised young people’s mental health was in decline: there was increased isolation due to the attraction of screens, and a break from spiritual roots and a relationship with Jesus. We began to dream with God as to how things could be different for young people and lead them to have a better relational life quality. The Lord gave us a vision to resource and gather young people through music, creativity, sports and adventure and a place to explore spirituality where they may encounter Him at a deep level.
Since then, we have been praying for young people and, as a result, ANL has been born and slowly we have been connecting with them!
To ‘inspire with courage, spirit or hope.’ We seek to encourage young people and their families to be healthy, resilient and strong mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
We invite young people to grow stronger through encountering adventure, God and joy through outdoor opportunities in the Peak District and creative expression.
We seek to give young people the knowledge, tools and opportunities to live life fully and wisely with Jesus through mentorship and practical resources so they are resilient, strong, brave and well.
