Fundraising for Rise
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On February 28th I will be running my first half marathon in Brighton. I can't wait to take on this exciting challenge on behalf of Rise- an extremely worthwhile charity. Any donations, would be hugely appreciated in helping me reach my goal of £500. Below is a little more about the charity I will be running for:
Every day more than 10 incidents of domestic abuse are reported and Brighton & Hove Police respond to over 4,000 calls a year.
R.I.S.E is a charity that looks to help in these difficult situations, standing for Refuge, Information, Support and Education.
We offer practical help ranging from direct advice to refuge space to those in urgent need, We also work in schools teaching children about healthy relationships to prevent the next generation from repeating the pattern.Known for breaking new ground, our specialist LGBTQI service for survivors of domestic abuse was the first in England.
Every year we support over 1800 women and their families to recover and reclaim their lives. Just £20 can provide a child in refuge with basic items such as school uniform. RISE is an independent, registered charity founded in 1994 and strives to be a disability and accessibility friendly organisation in everything it does.
