With the Rise management franchise, you can raise people’s spirits and help them reach their goals at the same time
Rise franchisees work to keep people mobile while enhancing social interaction and mental stimulation.
There can be many reasons why people of all ages lose the ability to remain mobile and active - advancing years, illness or injury, to name but a few.
Through the unique programmes Rise runs, the company transforms people’s confidence, as well as their mental, physical and emotional well-being, by adapting games, sports and dance to an individual’s physical ability or cognitive capacity, no matter what their environment.
Working with the NHS and other health and social care organisations, including care homes and home care agencies, Rise enriches the day-to-day wellbeing of patients and clients.
Rise supports its teams to get people moving, improving outcomes while fulfilling and surpassing regulatory compliance.
Care sector
Rise has grown out of the successful Mobi-Game programme that was initially used in a range of care homes, where the experience of both residents and staff was enhanced through taking part in ‘games’ and dance to keep body and mind active. Activities are adapted to suit the needs of all participants - the programme is seen as a standout point of difference by the care regulators due to improved outcomes.
The activities have also been adapted to be run via Zoom and Teams sessions during COVID and provided a welcome boost for both residents and staff during this immensely difficult time. Social care providers have also been using the Rise programme for their clients in their home environment.
Health care
The benefits of keeping active - physically, mentally and socially - are innumerable.
Rise works to make a difference by enriching people’s lives or supporting rehabilitation through participation in adapted, muchloved games and dance-inspired movement classes.
The company’s programme is adaptable to suit the needs of all generations and levels of ability and can be delivered in a variety of community and health care settings.
Rise and its partners have been delivering one-to-one sessions to the NHS, including bed-bound patients, and has received excellent feedback.
The programme can be used for one-on-one therapy sessions through to group classes, with tangible benefits including increased mobility, activity and social interaction.
Franchisees
The Rise team has extensive franchising experience and wanted to make sure the model was perfected before they awarded their first franchises.
Having built a successful pilot, Rise is now ready to roll the model out nationwide.
Rise is a management franchise and franchisees will recruit a team of trainers to deliver Rise sessions and work with partners to enable them to deliver the content in their settings.
They will also build and manage relationships with key care and health sector partners in their territory.
Unique model
The Rise founders and management team have a wealth of experience in the care and health sectors and recognised a need for structured sports and dance programmes that are engaging and beneficial from both a physical and well-being perspective and, above all, fun.
The rise founders
Rob Oyston
Rob is a qualified teacher, as well as an experienced entrepreneur and franchisor.
A keen sportsman, he came to fully appreciate the need for Rise services after a stay in hospital resulting from a serious illness. The experience led Rob to design and deliver positive experiences through physical activities for people, initially to elderly care home residents.
Originally operating under the Mobi-Game name, Rob’s programme brings significant benefits to participants while impressing the regulatory authorities due to its positive outcomes.
Trevor and Sam Brocklebank
Trevor and Sam’s previous experience in the care sector was with Home Instead - one of the UK’s most successful home care franchise companies - which they founded and built up to a turnover of more than £100 million.
More importantly, Home Instead won the Queen’s Award for Innovation for its approach to providing home care, before Trevor and Sam sold it in 2016. Trevor was voted one of the top ten most influential people in social care.
Sam, Trevor and Rob are joined by a management team who are passionate about the purpose of Rise and bring with them a wealth of experience in franchising, supporting franchisees to be successful.
Franchise opportunities
If you’re looking for a change in career or to run your own business, one that has purpose and will improve the lives of people in your local community, the new Rise franchise opportunity will allow you to build a successful business in a growth sector.
While a passion to make a difference is essential, experience in the sector is not.
If you’re prepared to work hard and have good people skills, the company can teach you all you need to know to run your own Rise franchise.
Alternatively, if you think Rise’s services could benefit you or a loved one, contact the company to find out how you can participate in a one-to-one or group session.
