The Rise Foundation

Following the UK's departure from the European Union, the UK has implemented its own data protection regime. This regime is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as it was incorporated into UK law (the "UK GDPR") by the Data Protection Act 2018. The aim is to maintain a high standard of data protection, providing individuals with transparency and control over their personal data.

About the Rose Foundation

The Rise Foundation is committed to addressing the significant underrepresentation of women of colour in senior leadership roles across the public, private, and charitable sectors in the UK. Our mission is to cultivate a robust talent pipeline of current and future ethnically diverse female leaders, bolstered by the support of dedicated professionals and organisations.

We are committed to protecting any data that is collected concerning you, gathering only the minimum amount of information that is appropriate for the best interaction with our organisation.
