We Rise Domestic Abuse Hub

 About We Rise 

We Rise was formed when two survivors of domestic abuse joined up on a domestic abuse panel to influence change in the Borough. The experience was powerful in the sense that our voices were heard and we were given the space to influence and go on to change practise in services like police and social work. We see that as essential in helping to break the cycle of abuse. This gave us the inspiration to set up a safe space for victims and survivors of domestic abuse so their voices could also be heard and they would be empowered to see their goals fulfilled. 

Our Mission 

●        To provide a safe space for survivors of abuse to work towards improving their lifestyles and general well-being. 

●        Our aim is to do this in a way that encourages self-love, confidence and empowerment. 

●        Alongside this, we provide advice and signposting in matters such as education, health, employment, benefits and legal matters. 

●        We use our life experience and feedback from the groups to influence wider change in the Borough.
