Community at ARRISE
How we support others
We are committed to improving the world around us by giving back to local communities. Our teams in key locations regularly volunteer their free time to good causes, working together on projects large and small to clean up nature spots, care for rescued animals, build social housing, and much more.
As a business, we also donate to charitable organisations that are working tirelessly to make the world a better place in our hub locations and beyond. You can read more about some of the charities we have supported, which include hospices, paediatric departments, animal welfare groups, and many others.
ARRISE DONATES €18,400 TO EYES ON FOUR PAWS FOUNDATION
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.

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.
