About Community Regen and our Team

About Community Regen

Established in 2002, Community Regen delivers a range of community development services to tackle inequality, achieve social justice, and bring tangible improvements to local communities.

We assist a range of organisations, communities, voluntary sector, local authorities, and housing associations strengthen, develop and sustain their initiatives and ongoing work.

We connect communities with policy makers and funders to better respond to their needs. Additionally, we bridge the gap between policy and practice, ensuring that the voices of those we work with are heard and integrated into meaningful action.

Community Regens’ work involves supporting evidence-led approaches and amplifying the voices of communities.

Through a tailored approach we respond to communities needs and collaborate with individuals, organisations, and communities.

We strive to be inclusive in all our work by engaging, listening and ensuring our clients and communities are at the heart of our work. We believe this approach is vital in tackling inequality and achieving social justice. Our diverse and experienced team is dedicated to driving social change and promoting equality through effective and sustainable projects and initiatives.

Community Regen has partnered with over 80 housing associations, local authorities, community, and voluntary organisations, as well as NGOs across the UK, Asia, South America, and Africa.
