RISE is a Brighton-based charity that helps those affected by domestic abuse and provides survivors with practical support to help them rebuild safer lives. This can only be achieved through the money raised at events such as the RISE 8K.

RISE stands for Refuge, Information, Support and Education and their 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. Their 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.
