This year, 1BTN International Women’s Day Takeover will be fundraising for both 1BTN radio and RISE. RISE is a Sussex based domestic violence and abuse charity that has worked for since 1994 to end all forms of violence and abuse against women, their families and those identifying as LGBTQ+. RISE stands for Refuge, Information, Support and Education; their strategic mission is freedom from abuse and violence.
