Take part in an event
Taking part in an event for Rising Sun is a great way to challenge yourself whilst raising much-needed funds to support victim-survivors of domestic abuse. Together, we can truly make a difference.
Whether you’re running a marathon, cold-water swimming, hiking mountains or flying through the skies, your bravery is helping us to change the lives of survivors experiencing domestic abuse. Your fundraising could help them reach safety.
Each year we must raise £1.7m to provide all of our services free of charge to those who need us most.
Below, you can find a wide-range of events that you can take part in through a Rising Sun place. Whichever challenge you choose, we’d love to hear from you!
"Before the event I was very nervous as I was out of my comfort zone. But after, I was so happy and I truly impressed myself that I actually completed it."
