Rising Ohana's CIC

Rising Ohana’s CIC is a community interest company committed to empowering vulnerable families, young parents, and individuals with complex needs to achieve stability, independence, and brighter futures. Founded on lived experience and over five years of frontline work in social care and education, our organisation bridges the gap between statutory services and real-life support that meets families where they are.

We provide family assessments, supported living, outreach, and tailored care services, alongside the development of resident family placement services. Our work is designed to be inclusive, culturally aware, and trauma-informed. We support individuals experiencing domestic abuse, substance misuse, learning difficulties, mental health issues, and social disadvantage.

What makes Rising Ohana’s CIC unique is our ability to combine regulatory standards with genuine lived experience. We understand the pressures families face when going through statutory assessments and ensure they are supported with the skills, knowledge, and encouragement they need to complete the process successfully. Our approach is practical, holistic, and person-centred — focusing on long-term resilience, not just short-term compliance.

We are committed to building strong partnerships with local authorities, community organisations, and health and social care providers to deliver sustainable solutions. Through workshops, outreach, and the development of resident family placement services, Rising Ohana’s CIC seeks to fill service gaps and create opportunities for families to thrive.

At our heart is the belief that every family deserves a chance to be heard, supported, and given the tools to build a safe and nurturing future.
