ReNEW is a Teesside based social enterprise with the aim of supporting women to reach their full potential, and become the authors of their own lives, free from the legacy of trauma and/or cultures of abuse, discrimination, and disempowerment.
We hope to do this by offering a range of psychologically informed services including:
- 1:1 Therapy and Assessment
- Organisational Support
- Leadership Coaching
- Training and Education
- Research and Service Evaluation/Improvement
VALUES
ReNEW is rooted in the following core values:
Regional:
ReNEW is rooted in local communities, doing with, not doing to. ReNEW recognises the local context and specific challenges facing women in the North East of England.
Equity:
ReNEW works to promote access and opportunities equally for all, inclusive of reasonable adjustments and positive action initiatives. With this in mind, ReNEW takes an intersectional and anti-racist stance, with a particular focus on marginalised and oppressed groups. ReNEW aims to act as a catalyst for change and to hold others to account.
Network:
ReNEW utilises a whole systems approach, working in partnership with agencies in the local community to provide a holistic level of support for women. ReNEW emphasises meaningful social connections and collaborations as central to women’s experiences. We view women who access ReNEW as members of a collective, not as users of a service.
Empowering:
ReNEW aims to empower women to become the author of their own lives, free from cultures of abuse, discrimination, and disempowerment. ReNEW aims to support all women to reach their full potential.
Women:
ReNEW recognises a woman as any individual who identifies as such. ReNEW acknowledges women’s issues are not just a woman’s issue; they sit within a wider social context perpetuated by gender inequalities. As such, ReNEW identifies the need to also work into male dominated areas to address these gender imbalances
Our Approach
