For 50 years, Rising Sun has been working to prevent domestic abuse and support survivors and their children. We provide specialist services for those in crisis & for those living with the effects of their trauma, helping adults, young people & children to safety, recovery and free from future harm.

Story

Working in family law, I have been involved with this local domestic abuse charity in East Kent. It is understandably a difficult and upsetting subject for people. Charities like this do invaluable work and often fall down the donation lists due to higher profile charities. Any donation that you make will make a difference.

Rising Sun supports women, children and anyone affected by domestic abuse in Canterbury, Ashford, Folkestone & Hythe. The charity offers specialist services to those in crisis and to those living with the effects of trauma, helping them towards safety, recovery and to rebuild their lives. They support survivors from age 5 upwards through advocacy, mentoring, counselling, group programmes, supported accommodation, emergency safeguarding and weekly drop-in services.
