OUR AIMS

RISE (Reach, Inspire, Support, Educate) is a registered charity which is based within the Sefton Area. RISE is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). As stated within our Governing Constitution document our aims are

“To promote and protect the good health of children and young people in the Merseyside and Lancashire regions who are either carers or bereaved by the provision of support groups and leisure opportunities.”

RISE supports two specific groups of children and young people – ‘young carers’ (those whose lives are affected by a close family member with physical, mental or learning needs and disabilities) and bereaved children (those who have been bereaved of a parent or sibling). These groups provide a place where the children can come together to share experiences, worries and emotions but most importantly to have fun with other children in similar situations or with similar experiences to themselves, which helps them to realise that they are not alone.

We endeavour to provide trips to places which may be inaccessible to them within their current home situations. For the young carers, we provide them with opportunities for ‘responsibility free fun’ (i.e. the children can be free of any responsibility for siblings or parents and can relax and just be children). For the bereaved children, we aim to provide them with ‘guilt-free fun’ (as often following the death of a parent or sibling, then children can experience feelings of guilt if they enjoy themselves or laugh – worrying that them enjoying a situation will appear to other family members as showing “that they don’t care.”).

OUR OBJECTIVES

Our objectives are set to reflect our educational aims and the ethos of the charity. It is important to us that we maintain and enhance the success of the organisation. Our key objective for the year was to increase the number of schools and young people that we support. This would in turn lead on to

OUR VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers maintain the charity either as trustees or working within the schools and with our children and young people. These volunteers have provided the young people with an opportunity to talk, offered support to their families and other colleagues and staff within school, raised awareness and understanding of the issues facing these young people. Without the dedication and support of these volunteers, RISE would not be able to help and support the young people in the ways that we do and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

Following on from the previous year when activities were severely restricted due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, it has been extremely positive to return to ‘out of school’ trips which allow children and young people to share experiences with peers from other schools who have similar experiences to themselves. These trips also offer our children and young people the opportunity to experience opportunities that they may not otherwise have had access to, as well as to build confidence, self esteem and team building skills. This year we have included a variety of trips with up to three schools based on the requests of the children and young people. These trips have included a climbing trip, cinema trip and all-day trip to the outdoor adventure centre Crosby Hall Educational Trust (CHET). The feedback from children, young people and their families has been overwhelmingly positive. We have continued to work in schools to either provide craft and support sessions, individual support or support to volunteers running sessions.

We have continued independent fundraising and raised money from a charity choir evening. Due to limitations on the time of the trustees, no external grant funding has been applied for.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (Total receipts, donations, gift aid, net result

OUR FINANCES IN SUMMARY

In summary, for the financial year ending 31[st] March 2023, we have received income of £181 and have spent £3,292 providing the trips and activities listed. This leaves a surplus as at 31[st] March 2023 of £2,881 which will be used to continue with trips, activities and support sessions for our children and young people. Please see Receipts and Payments annual return.

FUTURE PLANS

We will aim to promote the model for schools to facilitate their own sessions to support the children within their schools so relying less on the volunteers of RISE and making the approach more sustainable in the future. We will look forward to continuing to support the schools that we work with either directly or indirectly.
