About Rise

Rise, formerly the Women’s Refuge Project, was founded in 1994 and is an independent, registered charity providing services for women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse, in West Sussex, Brighton & Hove.

Rise stands for refuge, information, support and education.

We deliver our specialist services in partnership with statutory, voluntary and community organisations.

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