search Welcome to RISE+
RISE+ is supporting hospitals across SW London including St George's Hospital and Queen Mary's Hospital with a "Home from Hospital" discharge plan. The team are currently visiting the Senior Health wards to get to know patients and give individual support on discharge. We provide a gift of a dressing gown along with a food parcel on arrival home and visit the patient several times initially to ensure the patient settles well to avoid readmission to hospital. Referrals are from the Discharge Co-ordinators, OTs, Physiotherapists and Social Workers and the Referral Form can be downloaded by clicking on the link below:
Bryce is our RISE+ Outreach Co-ordinator and is well known to our patients and to the staff on the wards. Our work includes receiving hospital beds and equipment for patients in their homes, moving furniture around to make a suitable micro environment to adapt to patient's changing needs and a variety of support to suit the individual. We are a small team that provide a quick response and will do whatever we can to ensure the safe return of a patient home and also assist with anything that needs doing.
Our RISE+ team are Bryce, Debbie, Toney and Jackie and we currently have three volunteers, Robert, Ray and Mo.

Kings and Queens
We held Kings and Queens in the marquee on the Green in Danebury Avenue on 26 August with approximately 200 people attending. Our theme was "The Oscars" and we gave everyone an Oscar as an appreciation of their contribution to society. We also honoured three local people for their dedication and commitment to the people of Roehampton and beyond. They were Pam Harris for her work with the Over 60s Cafe, Alan Housden for his commitment to the community over the years and Rosie Taylor-Davies for her dedication to providing scrubs to many hospitals throughout Covid as well as enrolling about 100 volunteers from across Roehampton. Our guests were entertained by Grandpa's Spells, Robbie and Atlantis and along with a raffle and a game of Bingo, they enjoyed a delicious lunch. A good time was had by all and we look forward to hopefully repeating Kings and Queens in 2024.
The Platt Mission
On 9 November 1807, seven friends met to consult as to building a place of worship in Felsham Road and they raised amongst themselves the sum of £57 and formed an association to obtain further help. The result was that on 9 August 1808 the building known as the Platt Chapel was opened. The services were well attended and £100 was raised during the day towards the total cost of £900. By 1827, the Platt Chapel was so popular that even the addition of a gallery was insufficient and often the vestry as well as the Chapel was crowded on a Sunday evening. The Chapel was again enlarged in the year 1830. From 1872 the Platt Chapel was closed for awhile and a site was procured in Oxford Road at a cost of £750 where an iron chapel was erected to accommodate 500 people. However by 1897 the Platt Chapel was open again and was transferred by a Trust Deed to the City Mission and it remained with them for a long time. more...
