Story
I first became aware of this charity through a school fair, and thought it was a great cause, so when I heard about this 8k, my mum and I decided to take part! I don’t actually like running, but we’ve been training for it, and want to give it a shot, so would really appreciate if you could donate! Anything helps! Thank you so much 🫶(from Emilia and Jane), and here is a little bit about what Rise does:
We help those affected by domestic abuse and we work alongside survivors by giving practical support to help them rebuild safer lives. This can only be achieved through the money raised at our events, including the RISE 8K.
RISE is a Brighton based domestic violence and abuse charity that has worked for 30 years to end all forms of violence and abuse against women, their families and those identifying as LGBTQ+. RISE stands for Refuge, Information, Support and Education; our strategic mission is: freedom from abuse and violence. RISE reaches across Brighton & Hove, providing wrap-around services for adults and children on their recovery journey, following experiences of domestic abuse. Our essential services include specialist one-to-one therapy, therapeutic survivor groups, an LGBTQ+ refuge, work with children and families, as well as community engagement projects.
