Our Social Commitment.
Rise Events is a social enterprise. We are committed to redistribute profits to projects that align with our values and that care for and empower women and children across Australia and the globe. This isn’t something we just say, or do for a little while. It's woven into our constitution, it's ingrained in our ethos, and it's the very reason we're in this business.
Catherine Bowyer - Happiness Hive
“I've loved using the Sanctuary for our Happiness Hive Hangouts this past year. The space is beautiful, with a great vibe that suits our community perfectly! The flexibility in setting up the space and the option to handle our own catering added an extra layer of convenience and customisation to our events which I really appreciated. Lauren was wonderful to work with - friendly and professional, making the process of using the venue straightforward and easy. The Sanctuary truly lives up to its name - a welcoming space for gatherings and special events.”
Acknowledgement of Country.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we would like to respectfully acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, and also to the traditional custodians throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who gather with us.
