A small town charity with a long reach.

Rise Support began in a small town in Lancashire in 2019. Today our volunteers deliver food, water, medical care and schooling in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Pakistan, Uganda and Turkey, and they pay their own way to do it.

Donation policy
100% to the cause

Our volunteers pay their own way.

Every penny donated to Rise Support goes to the people who need it most. Our volunteers cover their own expenses when they travel to distribute aid, and we never take a cut from Zakat or any other donation.

Office and running costs are paid separately by sponsors and Gift Aid, so if you give £10 to our food project in Lebanon, all £10 goes to that project.

What we stand for

Our aim is to help communities rise above adversity: fast relief when disaster strikes, and projects that keep working long after we leave.

Transparency

Your gift goes to the project you chose, and we report back from the field.

Passion

A team of volunteers who give their own time, money and holidays.

Trust

Zakat is handled separately and goes only to people eligible to receive it.

Hard work

We deliver aid ourselves, in our own vests, wherever we can reach.

Adaptability

When a crisis changes, we change the plan, not the promise.

Relief now, and projects that last

Alongside emergency aid we fund work that keeps going: water wells, a sewing centre where widows learn a trade, a mobile school and a bread factory.
