Welcome to Regenerate-RISE

RISE stands for Reaching the ISolated Elderly and we aim to tackle isolation and social exclusion amongst the elderly across the UK using a model which has been operating in Putney and Roehampton since 2001.
By reaching and engaging isolated older people in a range of positive activities, we hope to facilitate the rebuilding of social networks, particularly for older people who may have become isolated due to major health problems. Our hope is that we can empower the isolated elderly in our communities by supporting them to live independently and by improving their physical and mental well being we believe that together we can reduce isolation.

Regenerate-RISE's ethos and values are based in the Christian faith and as an organisation we believe that older people should be valued and respected in today's society. RISE has been commended by the Kings Fund and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation as an organisation that provides a unique all round service to older people, that gives that "little bit of extra help" which enables older people to stay living in their own homes. It has provided a unique service to many who were isolated and helped them to integrate back into society. RISE aims to encourage and help older people to live the rest of their lives enjoying themselves with the company of other people by providing a programme of activities and outings which enable them to experience new adventures, visit new places and achieve unfulfilled dreams.
RISE is committed and dedicated to improving the quality of life of older people. It does not discriminate against disability, age, race, religion or gender and looks to provide a service to the whole person including their spiritual wellbeing. Activities include Art, Bingo, Computer, Entertainment, Music for All, Chair-based exercises, Quizzes, Parties, Films, Falls Clinics, Health Topics, Outings to places of interest and other Day Centres, Pub Lunches and many more. For more information about our project, please see our About us page.

We also have the provision of a Wandsworth Council green bus and the driver collects an average of 7 clients daily.
