Our work is centred around creating safer communities and enabling change, so we work with businesses to design and deliver programmes that meet local community needs. Here are some of the key ways we may be able to support you.
- Help to prevent reoffending through our rehabilitation and behavioural-change programmes
- Provide a journey of rehabilitation for offenders and support for victims of domestic violence and abuse.
- Provide professional training to staff from any sector who come into contact with perpetrators or victims of domestic violence, or who support clients with complex needs.
We work with local authorities and community organisations to deliver our programmes in collaboration with their existing local services for perpetrators and victims. Below are some of our current partners and how our programmes have helped to achieve their aims.
Contact us on: info@risemutual.org to discuss what services are best suited to your needs and how we can tailor our offering to the needs of your service users.
