RISE UP BANNER

RISE UP Against Domestic Abuse

RISE UP Against Domestic Abuse is our campaign to raise awareness about domestic abuse across the Britain and Ireland movement. 

The letters of RISE UP stand for Respond, Inform, Support, Empower, Unite and Pray.

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone from any walk of life. It's our goal that Mothers' Union members and churches will work together to be a part of the change and will get involved with our RISE UP! challenge. 

There are bronze, silver and gold awards for branches and churches who take part and complete various actions, as we work together to raise critical awareness and take action against domestic abuse, in whatever form it takes.

This page has resources which are specific to the RISE UP! challenge. If you have any questions, please riseup@mothersunion.org

RISE UP monitoring form - please fill in this form by 31st January each year to enable us to assess which level of the RISE UP challenge your church or branch is currently at.

If you have been affected by domestic abuse or any form of violence, or are concerned for someone else who has, please contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline: 0808 2000 247
