About Renaisi

We are leaders in place-based change and experts in using learning to drive change and understand the intersecting and complex nature of social challenges. We truly care about making big ideas accessible Not only do we help others to do their work better – we are equally dedicated to bringing about change ourselves. What we do Empower people experiencing economic and social exclusion Enable organisations – from community groups and charities to local authorities – to understand and improve their impact Support funders to learn about the value and role of their investments Working with businesses to be more inclusive employers Encouraging place-based organisations and practitioners to strengthen their approaches History Renaisi was founded by Hackney Council in 1998 to regenerate deprived neighbourhoods in Hackney, East London. On becoming an independent social enterprise, we went on to deliver large-scale neighbourhood regeneration programmes like the Single Regeneration Budget, New Deal for Communities and Neighbourhood Renewal Funding. In 2011 Renaisi was part of the consortium that set up the Big Local programme. Our role managing the ‘reps’ took us beyond London and allowed us to bring together the two halves of our expertise; supporting communities and social research. Alongside that national work we delivered services in Islington, Haringey and Hackney that helped migrant communities get the most out of the local school system. While the policy and funding landscape has changed a lot in the last 20+ years, ‘place’ has remained the lens we use to consider our work. We’re constantly learning from the different perspectives we see from working directly with 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.
