Madelaine Hunter at RISE

As well as providing services ranging from direct advice and help to those affected by domestic abuse and refuge space to those in urgent need, we also carry out education work, teaching school children about healthy relationships to prevent the next generation from repeating the same pattern.

Known for breaking new ground, our specialist LGBT service for survivors of domestic abuse was the first in England.

Every year we support over 800 women and their families to recover and reclaim their lives.

RISE is an independent, registered charity founded in 1994.
