About
TEAM RISE
TEAM RISE is a Charity based in Brierfield that supports people from all across East Lancashire.
We care for adults who have a learning disability, autism, and those who are vulnerable, lonely, or socially isolated.
Our area is one of the most deprived areas of the country and has one of the highest rates of disability.
Our objective is to give individuals the opportunity to develop, socialise and explore their ideas and goals through a wide variety of educational, social and practical activities. However, our main and most important aim is that the people who come here have a great deal of fun, laugh loads and make long-lasting and meaningful friendships.
We provide tailored and empathetic support, empowering individuals to contribute to their communities in a meaningful and positive way, reducing social isolation and loneliness.

Evening sessions
In addition to our day sessions which run on a membership basis, we also open our doors to even more people every Monday evening between 6pm-8pm.
Each week, there are a variety of activities available including karaoke, pool, table top games and much more! Our members take part in a consultation at the beginning of the year, which then serves as an outline of activities. These sessions are a great way to socialise, learn new things and make friends.
We occasionally do themed evenings, with a particular focus on a person or place.
You can come along for just £5.00 on the door, and we have a tuck shop and hot food available for a small supplement. Better yet, accompanying carers come along for free! Why not come along and see for yourself?
