The RISE Foundation has had a very busy year with lots happening to help its mission to support families with loved ones in addiction. The focus has been very much on the challenge of funding the expansion of their non-residential and residential Family Programmes and the development of a dedicated addiction awareness and education centre on beautiful Rathlin Island, Co. Antrim. Highlights over the past year included:
- 120 fantastic 'RISE Women' participating in a rain soaked Flora mini marathon and raising an amazing €19K.
- The growth of the RISE team to include Vodafone World of Difference 2010 winner Mark O'Doherty, who joined as Marketing & Communications Officer and Rabia Tabassum, who has joined as an administrative volunteer. They join Frances Black (Founder & CEO), Brian Allen and Stephen Rowen who, as one of Ireland's top addiction specialists, heads up the RISE Family Programmes.
- The RISE Foundation was delighted to be this year’s chosen charity for the Moyle District Council's (Co. Antrim) May Day Gala Ball fundraising event.
