Providing a wraparound support service in the Liverpool City Region

Every organisation within The Regenda Group strives to do the right thing for the people and places in which we work - and by making partnerships, we can reach so much further together.

We’ve been working with Thrive Careers Hub for over two years. Thrive work to connect young people from across the Liverpool City Region with the support they need to access meaningful and sustainable employment.

At The Regenda Group, we offer Thrive our housing support services through Regenda Homes, and employability help through our training provider, The Learning Foundry.

Lilly is one young person who has benefitted from this partnership. She was introduced to Thrive through the job centre, and The Learning Foundry were able to support her with the training she needed to secure a full-time job at Thrive.

Hannah Lewis, Partnerships Manager at Thrive, said:

“Working in collaboration with partners like The Regenda Group, mean we can catapult people into work or training. It’s about being able to put the people who can help them right front of them, whether that’s an organisation which can help with housing, a potential employer or a training provider – like The Learning Foundry.

“Lilly is one example of how successful a partnership can be. After Lilly came to us, we referred her to Regenda Group’s training provider The Learning Foundry and since then her confidence has grown, and she has developed skills that employers value. She gets stuck in and is great with people – that’s why we hired her ourselves! She’s an excellent addition to the Thrive team.

Working together with Thrive is helping young people find the advice and support they need to create their own futures.

Creating social value together, it’s rooted in the Regenda Group!

In 2024, Petrus, our charity supporting those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Rochdale, will return to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Tatton Park Flower Show for their 5th consecutive year.

By designing and delivering multi-award winning gardens, the charity challenges society’s perceptions of people who have experienced homelessness by demonstrating what they can achieve when they are empowered, trusted and believed in.

Behind the scenes, subsidiaries and staff from across the Regenda Group come together with external partners to ensure Petrus’ service users get this opportunity to shine!

Our construction and maintenance business M&Y have been part of the journey from the beginning, providing essential funding, help securing materials and logistical support. M&Y’s Managing Director, Gill Kelly said:

“It is great to be a part of The Regenda Group alongside incredible organisations that can support one another which can often lead to amazing opportunities for people in our communities. Over the last few years, we’ve been fortunate enough to see first-hand the positive impact this project has for Petrus’ service users, giving them self-confidence and boosting their wellbeing. We’re always so inspired by their achievements and can’t wait to see them bring another amazing garden to life in 2024!”

In addition, all employees across the Regenda Group can use their volunteer days to travel to Tatton, supporting service users on site to bring their garden display to life. Regenda Group Marketing and Communications Officer, Corinne McGinty, volunteered with service users during the build of The Empowerment Garden. She commented:

“The Regenda Group’s strong social purpose was a major draw for me when I applied for my role, so getting stuck into the Tatton Park project was really exciting for me. I was so impressed by the way the Petrus team supported each service user, while also spinning so many other plates like making sure deliveries arrived on time and that the build of the garden stayed on track.

During the show, I was able to help one of the service users, who was interested in starting a YouTube channel to document their own gardening work. Together, we met with YouTube sensation, The Cloud Gardener, getting his tips for succeeding on YouTube and even conducting a short interview to kickstart the service user’s channel!”

At Regenda, while social housing is our starting point, we recognise that true regeneration happens when all aspects of community thrive. Our charity Petrus not only works to support people in their time of need, but to empower individuals to make long term positive change in a way that works for them.

Petrus’ journey to Tatton Park is a demonstration of what happens when people come together to create opportunities for each other. We are proud that they are part of the Regenda Group.

Building homes and building social impact Plaza 1821 a place to live, work and thrive

Our ambition to enter the private rental sector with a new development in Liverpool’s historic Princess Dock, came to fruition through ‘Plaza 1821’.

The scheme has created great quality housing in a superb location and contributed to the regeneration of acres of disused docklands, but more importantly - it's brought skills, jobs and a legacy training programme that will support the wider economy in a post-pandemic era.

Plaza 1821, named after the year Princess Dock opened, is a £21 million residential development. It forms part of Peel L&P's £5 billion Liverpool Waters scheme which is designed to completely transform the city’s northern docks over the next 30 years. The vision for Liverpool Waters is to create a world-class, mixed-use waterfront that will bring Liverpool’s historic docks back to life.

Plaza 1821 was one of the first developments on the waterfront to be completed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our subsidiary Redwing, which specialises in property management, sales and lets, successfully and let and moved in tenants to all 105 apartments during the height of the pandemic.

Plaza 1821 offers a host of attractive benefits, including Wi-Fi, concierge service, app-based door entry (tenants needn't worry about forgetting their keys!). The building also offers a ground floor residents’ lounge and co-working space with waterfront views for those customers working from home.

Also located on the ground floor of the development is Moose Coffee. A central part of our decision-making process on this commercial partnership, was finding a local independent business, which shared our values and can work with us to achieve our mission to regenerate places and create opportunities for people. Moose Coffee at Plaza 1821 is open to the public as well as residents. The restaurant is infamous locally for its Canadian menu and great coffee – which is helping to sustain (literally!) visitors to the area, helping to make Princess Dock a destination for visitors as well as a place to live and work.

As part of the Plaza 1821 development, Moose commercial premises have been specially designed to include training kitchens. In collaboration with our training provider, The Learning Foundry, we will develop hospitality training programmes. Students will be able to learn in a live setting and get set up to achieve culinary careers that enable them to reach their full potential. The programme will be about encouraging people to see hospitality as a career rather than a job and will also help to address the current skills shortage that both the hospitality and tourism sectors are facing.

At Regenda, our goal is to make sure every project we are part of results in a positive social impact. Plaza 1821 in its own right is a great development, and we are very proud to be part of the regeneration of Liverpool Waters. However, accompanied by great partners and staff who share the same vision for creating opportunities for people and places to thrive – we have created something much more special, a platform for change that so many people can benefit from.

Building homes and social impact

The Regenda Group is made up of various organisations, each doing very different things, but all with the same core purpose – to regenerate place and create opportunities for people.

Our construction and maintenance company M&Y achieve this by making a commitment to deliver positive social impact in all the communities they work in and engaging staff, suppliers, and clients along the way to do the same!

To date they have delivered £500,000 in social value projects, helping to make a difference to people, place, and planet. An example of this approach is through the collaboration with key partners to improve aspirations with primary school children, which is key to improving attainment in communities.

On securing a contract to develop 17 affordable family homes with Wigan Council, St Pauls C of E Primary school was selected to run a ‘Raising Aspirations’ programme. The 12 month programme delivered through teachers via Positive Footprints charity, helps pupils to build their self-belief and resilience, and recognise how their qualities could be used in the workplace.

In the current post pandemic climate, where many children have faced challenges in terms of their education and mental health, this programme will help rewind some of that negative impact and provide the children with long lasting life skills that will enable them to achieve in whatever direction, they choose to go in.

Headteacher at St Paul's C of E Primary School said: “It is the mission of primary schools to prepare children not only for their next stage of education but for life.  The aim of Positive Footprints is to open the children’s minds to the different careers available to them in order to raise their aspirations.  Raising aspirations is part of our Core Curriculum purpose so the Positive Footprints programme is an excellent enhancement to our curriculum and will serve as a vehicle to boost ambition. “
