Each year we cap entries at 500 places. 500 runners, raising £50 each adds up to a HUGE £25,000 to support women, children and LGBT people affected by Domestic Abuse in Brighton and Hove.
Now more than ever, every single penny you raise matters. In 2024, we’ve seen significant cuts to our budgets, which means cuts to the services we offer. Last year we closed waiting lists for certain services. In 2024, we’ve lost further funding and so have moved to smaller offices and lost valued colleagues. Your fundraising makes a vital difference. We really need your help and support.
The 8K Run for Women is far more than just a run. It’s a defiant stand against abuse, a celebration of female strength and solidarity, determination, and purpose, all rolled into one exhilarating experience. And it’s fun!
The truth remains: 1 in 4 women in the world will encounter domestic abuse in their lifetime.
In the last year, RISE supported 1408 people, up from 1357 in the previous year. That was a rise on the previous year too.
We continue to hold a vision of lives lived free from abuse and violence. We want to be there for those fleeing abuse when they need us most. tThis is where you, our incredible runners, can make a difference.
Please remember that every single entry registered, and every single penny you raise, matters. Your dedication echoes the stories of those you're supporting, bringing them hope, safety, and the chance to rebuild. Thank you in advance for everything you are doing for us.
