RISE is an independent, Brighton-based registered charity that helps people affected by domestic abuse. We offer practical help ranging from direct advice to housing support and accessing refuge accommodation.

The aim of the Sanctuary Scheme is to enable survivors of domestic abuse to remain in their home, maintain safe and secure housing, and prevent homelessness.

This is done by providing home security, and is part of BHCC’s response to the new duties contained within the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
