Who Are We
Rise Community Action supports individuals affected by Domestic Violence, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)or HIV while providing advocacy and empowerment sessions.
Our support services are targeted to women of African origin living in the London boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest.
Our Focus
Our focus is on addressing the issue of Domestic Violence (DV), Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and HIV. We are supporting individuals experiencing these issues, as well as the survivors, while raising awareness of the effects they have in Hackney and on the wider community.
Rise Community Action has, since 2004, been unfaltering in raising awareness on issues that mainly affect the African Community by running workshops, delivering presentations, staging community events and outreach activity.
Our vision
Our vision is a world where everyone is given the best possible opportunities in life, and where a medical condition or issue is not a barrier to opportunity and fulfilment.
Our Strategic Aim
Our strategic aim is to achieve this by providing high-quality services that are intended to have a practical and positive effect on the lives of those affected by HIV, Domestic abuse or Female Genital Mutilation and their families.
