About Us
Renew:EL is a social enterprise, we work with those on the edges to help them succeed in life, however that might look. We founded in 2017 as a community of people who love the art of design, making and creating, maintaining and constructing gardens in the London area.
RenewEL is Christ-centred, we value the contribution of each person in the team, prioritising integrity in all we do. We recognise that only Jesus can transform lives and therefore rely on him.
Modern society has a way of casting things aside and letting what was once beautiful become cold, ugly and overgrown and city life only compounds the issue. Just like many of our outside spaces, balconies and gardens lives can become isolated, desolate and wasted.
At RenewEL we’re all about finding these spaces (and lives) and restoring them. Sometimes to their original beauty; sometimes to a beauty that’s never been seen before. We take folk who have fallen on the wrong side of life; whether through homelessness, addiction, offending behaviour or poor mental health and train them up as part of our gardening team.
