CSR

ARRISE has donated €18,400 to the Eyes on Four Paws Foundation, a pioneering Bulgarian NGO that trains guide and assistance dogs to support individuals who are blind or living with diabetes and epilepsy.

The donation covers the full cost of training a guide dog, including veterinary care, foster support, socialisation, and specialised instruction. This contribution directly supports the training of Urania, a Labrador who has now been successfully paired with her new owner.

To mark the occasion, the ARRISE team attended Urania’s graduation ceremony at the Foundation’s campus. There, they had the pleasure of meeting Chairman Albena Aleksieva, the trainers Iavor Krumov, Kostadin Kostadinov, and Elena Videnova, as well as the administrative director Eli Kodzhabasheva. The event offered a touching glimpse into the life-changing impact of the foundation’s work.

ARRISE proudly supports Eyes on Four Paws’ mission and stays dedicated to initiatives that promote inclusion, accessibility, and community well-being.

ARRISE has donated €2,850 to the Bulgarian Aikido Federation (BAF) to support the organisation’s three-day International Aikido Marathon, in line with its 35th anniversary celebrations.

The donation covered transportation costs for international instructors, venue hire for the official programme, and multimedia and technical equipment to ensure a successful and inclusive event.

With a long-standing mission to promote Aikido in Bulgaria, BAF has dedicated over three decades to fostering discipline, respect, and personal development through this traditional Japanese martial art.

ARRISE is proud to support this milestone celebration and help enhance the ongoing cultural and educational influence of Aikido in the region.

ARRISE has donated €10,000 to the Alternativa 2003 Association, a Bucharest-based NGO that supports the social and professional inclusion of young people with intellectual disabilities.

Founded by a group of parents in 2003, the association provides education, vocational training, therapy, and daily care across three specialised centres, creating a safe and empowering environment for over 60 individuals.

The donation will support ongoing improvements to facilities and services, helping more young people build confidence and independence.

To mark the occasion, the ARRISE team joined a joyful internal event at the centre, sharing music, dance, and meaningful moments with the young adults supported by the organisation.

ARRISE is proud to stand behind Alternativa 2003’s mission and remains committed to building a more inclusive and compassionate society.

ARRISE has donated €20,000 to Medici pentru Romania, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving healthcare access in Romania’s public health system.

The donation supports the renovation of the Pediatrics Department at the Curtea de Argeș Municipal Hospital, creating a safer and more modern environment for young patients and medical staff.

Medici pentru Romania was founded by doctors who practiced abroad and returned to Romania to transform its public healthcare system—bringing international standards through medical caravans, equipment donations, and mentorship programs, with a focus on underserved communities.

To mark the occasion, the ARRISE team visited the hospital to meet staff and view the renovation progress, seeing first-hand the impact of the project.

ARRISE has donated €20,000 to Adăpostul Speranța, a Romanian non-profit organization committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming stray and abused dogs.

The funds will go towards improving shelter infrastructure, medical treatments, and daily care, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for the animals.

The donation also supports the shelter’s ‘Messengers of Hope’ programme, which helps traumatised dogs rebuild trust and prepares them for adoption.

To raise awareness, ARRISE hosted an event in partnership with Batem Tobele Pentru (We Drum For), a powerful social and artistic initiative that uses rhythm and drumming as tools for therapy and emotional expression – where colleagues, shelter representatives, and rescue dogs came together for a workshop focused on empathy, connection, and support.

ARRISE is proud to stand behind Adăpostul Speranța’s mission and remains committed to supporting organisations that drive positive change in their communities.

ARRISE has donated €15,000 to the Malta Dementia Society, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia, along with their families and carers.

The funds will be used to sponsor DancingtoDementia, a weekly programme led by qualified facilitators that promotes movement, connection, and joy through dance.

Held every Wednesday, these one-hour sessions provide a safe and uplifting space for people living with dementia and their carers to enjoy physical activity and social engagement.

ARRISE is proud to support the Malta Dementia Society’s ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life for those affected by dementia and is committed to backing meaningful initiatives that foster inclusion and wellbeing across the community.
