Rise Brighton & Hove, Littlehampton & Worthing

Often community groups, charities and other organisations can apply for funding for our Rise sessions as we bring people together not only for gentle movement, but playing in inclusive teams brings that social cohesion. We have families, inter-generational organisations, specialist charities – anyone can play together. So do check this funding out if you're interested in seated sport sessions regularly around the Lewes area.

🌟 New Funding Opportunity for Community Groups

We delivered over 150 Rise World Cup wall charts across Sussex to care settings. We've begun to spot some 'in the wild' now being used and updated (the hardest job with late-night/early-morning matches.)

If you have one, do share it and tag us in so we can see the World Cup football decorations and displays across the area – a double whammy if you get a Rise seated football session too!

England's first match of the World Cup is today – expectations are high. Can we win it again 60 years later?

At Rise, our special Seated World Cup Sessions are helping care homes join in the excitement with: ⚽ Football-themed seated games 🧠 World Cup quizzes 🏅 Friendly team challenges 👏 Plenty of cheering, laughter and shared memories Perfect for creating conversation, connection and a real matchday atmosphere for residents of all abilities. Come on, England!

Passive activities in care homes are no longer enough.
Care regulators increasingly expect meaningful engagement with residents, inclusion and wellbeing support within care settings, and that’s exactly where seated sports make a difference.

Rise sessions help residents:
✔ Stay active
✔ Build confidence
✔ Reduce isolation
✔ Engage socially
✔ Enjoy safe, inclusive participation
Because quality care should enrich lives every single day.

A Rise sports session isn't just a passive exercise class; we get the social engagement through teams playing together, and it starts with choosing the team names.
So World Cup football has clearly had a favourite team so far across all our groups.

Scotland has been taken to our hearts too.
