Renaisi is a social enterprise that helps people and places to thrive.

Founded in 1998 to regenerate deprived neighbourhoods in Hackney, East London, today we do three complementary things:

• Support people to learn work and connect with their community.

• Help organisations across the UK to understand and evaluate their impact on communities; and

• Develop collaborative strategies for improving places.

We're constantly learning from the different perspectives we see from working directly with marginalised communities, with the providers of services and the investors in communities. It gives us a unique perspective on how systems work and how to improve places fairly.

We care about creating the conditions for strong, inclusive communities to thrive. Find out more at www.renaisi.com
