About Us

RISE strives for a world where people can lead safe, purposeful lives as a result of better relationships within families and communities; where harmful behaviour is marginalised and fewer people are victims of crime. To create safe communities, RISE empowers people to break their cycle of harmful behaviour. RISE’s programs challenge attitudes and facilitate long-lasting behaviour change and are driven by the belief that people, including children and people, can make better decisions, given the right support. RISE are specialists in designing and delivering evidence-based, transformative behaviour change courses within the criminal justice system and wider community.

RISE delivers an innovative London wide project, DRIVE. The DRIVE Project aims to reduce the number of adult and child victims of domestic abuse by disrupting and changing perpetrators’ behaviour and maintain effective risk management of high risk, high harm perpetrators.

DRIVE has expanded across all 32 London Boroughs. The RESPECT, Safe Lives, Social Finance- led project sees RISE collaborate with London boroughs, statutory agencies such as the police, probation service and children’s social care and local specialist agencies to challenge the behaviour of high-risk perpetrators of domestic abuse.

The focus of DRIVE is to hold the perpetrators to account, rather than expecting punitive measures of uprooting the victim and children from their family, community and schools to be the solution; thereby allowing the perpetrator to move from one victim to the next.
