Trusts & foundations
You can help us end domestic abuse by making a donation to Rising Sun through your charitable trust or foundation.
We are immensely grateful to the trusts and foundations who generously support our work through one-off or multi-year grants. Many of our specialist services are only possible thanks to the support of independent grant makers who are helping us to end domestic abuse, together.
Together, we can change the lives of hundreds of women and children in east Kent living with domestic abuse and the impacts of this traumatic experience.
If you’d like to support our work through making a grant, or discuss a specific service, we’d love to hear from you.
From our working relationship over the past 2 years, it is clear how dedicated the team are to the young women they support, and that their safety is paramount.
