Regenerate RISE - reaching the isolated eldelrly

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.

"The multi-disciplinary team on the ward have witnessed how helpful you all have been, providing quick responses to our referrals and queries and efficient support to the patients which have helped to contribute to reducing hospital discharge delays" OT

"Forever thankful for what you have done for me" Patient more...

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...

We also give individual support when required. Transport is provided by our own minibus, by our RISE car and by Dial-a-Ride.

RISE in Woking

RISE Woking was initiated when all funding for older peoples Day Centres across Woking was stopped at the end of the last financial year, due to the Council going bankrupt. Regenerate-RISE has taken on the management of St Mary's Day Centre in West Byfleet and is providing a service on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays every week. St Mary's is funded by Byfleet United Charities and is also grateful to The Friends of St Marys for their financial commitment. This has enabled RISE Woking to be able to continue until the end of the current financial year. In April 2025 we are taking on the Community Asset Transfer for the building and will develop the service for the whole community.Â For further information on our new Woking project, please contact:

Delivering Supply Bags

Since March we have delivered 3,206 Supply Bags to people who are in lock down and to those recently who are

unable to go out due to their disability or vulnerability. We have been grateful to all those who have contributed items and it has been amazing to see the response by those we deliver to.

We aim to continue delivering Supply Bags for as long as is necessary. We travel across the borough of Wandsworth to every post code and if you know of anyone who is in need of support, please do contact us and we will do our best to deliver a Supply Bag within 24 hours. We currently have 377 people that we have provided a service to and as people begin to do their own shopping, the number will reduce

The Challenge of A New Era

Regenerate-RISE owns the Platt Mission and due to Covid and having to purchase the Centre, the planning permission to build a new RISE Centre ran out. We have now submitted a new planning application to Wandsworth Council for a 12 bed Reablement Unit that will provide a Centre of Excellence for older people. It will also include day services on the ground floor, a hairdressing room along with therapy rooms on the first floor, facilities for visitors and a full health and wellbeing programme for all those using the building.

Our RISE+ programmes currently assists patients in hospital to return home safely and our new Centre will be accessed when there are delays, for whatever reason, to patients returning home when they are medically fit for discharge. Older people across the borough of Wandsworth and wider afield will be able to access the residential side of the Centre and our staff will do everything they can to enable the patient to return home to live independently. Once planning permission has been granted we will fundraise for 2 years and expect to start building in the summer of 2027.
