Women Getting Active Through Community Football
Salford

Every Thursday, women from the RISE-UK Foundation community come together at Marlborough Road Community Hub in Salford to enjoy football, physical activity and social connection. What began as an invitation to join a local opportunity has developed into a regular space for women to get active, build confidence, make connections and have fun together. While not a RISE-UK funded project, it reflects our commitment to connecting communities with accessible opportunities that support physical wellbeing, confidence, inclusion and stronger community connections.

Empowering Communities Through Lifesaving Skills
Local Collaboration

In collaboration with the Ethnic Health Forum (EHF), RISE-UK Foundation brought lifesaving skills into the community through an Adult and Infant First Aid Training session at Marlborough Community Hub in Salford. Delivered by professional trainers from the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, the session engaged 33 participants from diverse backgrounds, including parents, expectant parents, community members, volunteers and staff. Through practical, hands-on learning, participants developed essential first aid skills and greater confidence to respond to emergencies—demonstrating how skills exchange, accessible learning and community partnerships can create practical and lasting impact.
