About Rise 

Rise is a leading health and wellbeing charity and we are passionate about the role that physical activity can play in making a difference to the communities that need it most. 

Our team of friendly experts work closely with regional partners across health, education, transport and more to show how physical activity can tackle inequalities and help solve some of the biggest issues affecting our communities.   

Rise plays a key role in: 

  • Providing access to employment and training 

  • Improving mental health 

  • Enhancing child development and education 

  • Creating health and sustainable places in which to live and work

  • Catalyse Change – We believe that change is possible and we are ready to lead the exploration
