40 Years and Still Rising to the Challenges We Face

We have seen many different challenges since our 40th anniversary in 2019.  During the COVID‐19 pandemic we have adapted our services to continue to meet all our clients’ needs. Throughout this time we always continue to promote a ‘whole family approach’ within our work. Our service is stronger, because we have grown and adapted over time, our excellent practices and our life-changing service impacts on women’s and children’s lives every day.

Who are we?

The Rising Sun Domestic Violence & Abuse service is a charity in Kent addressing domestic violence and providing services, for adults, children and families.
