RISE – Rutland Integrated Social Empowerment Service

About this service

RISE, the Rutland Integrated Social Empowerment service, is a social prescribing initiative dedicated to improving the health and emotional wellbeing of local residents. Recognising that health is often influenced by social factors, RISE helps individuals who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or struggling with long-term health conditions to reconnect with their community. Through one-to-one support, the service links people with local groups, activities, and volunteer opportunities that align with their interests, helping to build resilience, boost confidence, and foster a sense of belonging and purpose in everyday life. It is about treating the person as a whole beyond just medical symptoms.
