rise_front Regenerate-RISE (Reaching the ISolated Elderly) has a mission to eradicate isolation amongst older people across the UK. In this season of the Coronavirus, we will look for new opportunities to reach out to the local community with a programme of care and support.
  RISE SW11 works in partnership with St Michael’s C of E Church and has a new Dementia-friendly minibus that transports our clients regularly to the Centre.  The majority of our clients need transport and Dial-a-Ride provide a great service collecting people from across the borough of Wandsworth.
  RISE Nottingham
RISE Nottingham began in April 2012 and is now based at Clifton Methodist Church.  Our staff are currently furloughed due to the Coronavirus and everything is on hold for the time being.  The Church is being renovated and we look forward to seeing the new building.

The Challenge of the Coronavirus Crisis

Regenerate-RISE is very grateful to the 201 volunteers that have offered their services over the last 10 weeks and we want to say a big “thank you” to all those who have been available to deliver Supply Bags, Lunches and Expressions of Kindness as well as contact by telephone, do shopping, collect prescriptions and generally care about the welfare of older people across the borough.  It has been a pleasure and a privilege for our staff to work alongside so many people willing to give up their time to serve the community.  We are also grateful to Waitrose, to Sainsburys, to AFC Wimbledon, to Hillsong, to Wandsworth Council and to all the individuals who have provided food donations or monetary gifts to enable us to provide the services.

Following some very uncertain times with the renting of the Platt Christian Centre in Putney, the Trustees have put in an offer to purchase the building in order that the services that we provide for older people will continue for years to come.  The world is a different place now to what it was 6 months ago and the Coronavirus has forced everyone to go into isolation and whilst supporting so many at home – we are now looking at what our service will look like when they can return to our Centres.  We are still planning to build our 10 bed Reablement Unit, although the purchase of the Platt Centre was not in the plan, but we are moving forward with the same enthusiasm and will look forward with hope and a determination to see it come to fruition.

If you would like to support Regenerate-RISE to continue work from the Platt Christian Centre in Felsham Road, please email us and if you would like to do a fundraising event to raise funds for us to continue our work from the Platt Centre, please let us know – we would love to hear from you.

Regenerate-RISE. This is adding to the edit made by Mo just after midnight on August 27th.

Mo SmithBy making the editor narrower and closer to the published page, hopefully this will allow the whole thing to run better. Here’s the example of a basic transition from the introduction to this article. The boxes below initially have an orange background, with the color set to change to green on :hover. For the first box no transition is specified, so the change occurs instantaneously. 005For the second box a transition with a duration of 5 seconds is specified, as such the change occurs smoothly over the given duration and automatically reverses when the mouse is moved off the element.

Now this is a separate paragraph but the image from above appears to be hanging over – this is just an illusion and a quirk of how a WYSIWYG editor will typically operate. So, let’s see how that works before trying to upload an audio file.

As a registered charity, Regenerate-RISE is dependent on donations to enable us to provide support to all of our clients in a variety of different ways.  We have been extremely grateful over the years to the individuals, to the trusts and companies that have donated to make this world a better place for older people.

 We aim to be a Centre of Excellence and provide a service that provides care and support to people living with Dementia.  We are looking forward to initiating new ways to provide support in the future.  We are missing all our clients who regularly attend our Centres and look forward to the day when they can socialise safely again.

Regular Support

Our service includes daily lunches at £7 that includes a main course with fresh meat and vegetables followed by a dessert and a juice.  The Menu for September is available here Menu February 2024 and our Activity programme is also here Programme February 24

We were very pleased to receive a cheque from Cllr Richard Field, last year’s Mayor of Wandsworth who gave us a cheque for £7,961.46 which is specifically going towards our new Reablement Centre.

Individual Support – it is important to still give individual support to those in the community and we hope to continue to meet the need of those we have got to know well over the last year.  This will include visiting in hospital, arranging small household tasks, attending appointments and ensuring that the quality of life is improved where it is essential to do so.  We work closely with local councillors, Social Workers and the Adult Social Care Team to ensure that the best service is provided for everyone that attends.

Throughout the pandemic we  delivered 37, 250 individual supports through lunches, activity kits, supply bags, expressions of kindness, telephoning, shopping, Bingo by Phone and Savoy on the Streets (tea for two on the pavement!)  We have now ended that specific service and are encouraging people to become independent and attend our day services.

The Platt Mission is available for hire and is ideal for Conferences, training and meetings.  We have two rooms divided by a soundproof glass partition, kitchen facilities and disabled access with all equipment provided on site, including a TV, lap top and internet facilities.  For information on the hire charges, please email Mo Smith on the Contact Page.

We welcome you to the Platt Mission, where you can find everything you need to make your day away a real success.  It is available during the evenings and at weekends and our Caretaker lives on site.
