Volunteering at RISE

Volunteering is a very rewarding experience as it really is making a difference to the lives of other people in the local community.  There are a number of different ways that you could help us and here are some of them

• Delivering lunches  to the isolated elderly – mornings only
• Befriending an older person and visiting weekly or fortnightly
• Telephoning an older person on a weekly basis
• Organising a fundraising event
• Helping out at either St Michael’s in Battersea or the Platt Mission in Putney any day of the week morning or afternoon

If you are a Company and would like to volunteer with us, please email and you can help us organise a tea party, albeit socially distancing and outdoors .

To volunteer with us on a regular basis, you will need to complete an application form.  We would send for references and carry out an Enhanced DBS.  We are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and are unable to recruit volunteers with a criminal record.  If you would like to sign up, please contact us via email and we will send you the application form.  We do require volunteers to have been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Mission Statement

Regenerate-RISE provides a programme of support and care that is tailored to the individual and aims to encourage older people to realise their dreams and enjoy life.  We do not consider ourselves a Day Centre, but Day Services as we provide one-to-one support in the home, in hospital, in the community as well as in the Centre.  Our programme is based on activities that improve the health and wellbeing of individuals through physical activity, emotional and psychological support and consider that the “feel good” factor is very important in the day to day lives of older people.

Our annual Kings and Queens event is aimed at ensuring that every guest feels treated like a King or Queen as we value the input that each one has had during their lifetime.

Vision Statement

During the 15 years that Regenerate-RISE has been in existence, we have overseen projects in Sheffield for three years, Ealing for 5 years, Nottingham for 8 years, Roehampton/Putney for the whole of that time and for the last three years had a Centre in Battersea and RISE now reaches the whole of the borough of Wandsworth.  The challenge has changed and although we will still rise to the challenge of reaching the isolated elderly across the UK we have to look for new ways.  Our plans for the Reablement Centre will reach thousands of older people over the years ahead and provide a stepping stone to returning home and with on-going support, we believe we can improve the lives of older people.  Covid-19 has brought a new challenge to the whole of the UK and indeed the world and we have to adjust our model and work together with Churches and organisations to inspire the younger generation to care for the elderly.
