Rise

We are a charity working across Northumberland and Tyne & Wear, and we’re passionate about the role that physical activity can play in improving people’s lives.

Physical activity, sport or just moving more can deliver an amazing, positive impact on both individuals and communities, and can help to address issues as varied as raising the aspirations of children living in poverty, to supporting the mental wellbeing of men at risk of suicide. We work with partners to collaborate around many of the big issues that are facing our communities today, using the power of sport and physical activity to tackle inequalities.

We advocate for policy change, share best practice, provide advice, guidance, and support, and connect like-minded allies. Our partners include those in health, education, the criminal justice system, transport and planning, and our work supports them to see how physical activity can help them achieve their aims.
