Roots to Renewal was established from a deep-seated passion for sustainability and a commitment to supporting our communities. In a world increasingly affected by environmental challenges, we recognised the urgent need to inspire positive change through creative and eco-friendly practices. Our initiative aims to empower individuals by providing the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to embrace sustainable living.

We believe that everyone has the potential to make a difference, and by promoting a sense of community, we can collectively work towards a greener future. Our workshops and projects are designed not only to educate but also to engage participants in hands-on experiences that celebrate creativity, resourcefulness, and collaboration.

At Roots to Renewal, we are dedicated to nurturing connections among community members while promoting sustainable practices such as upcycling, natural dyeing, and plant cultivation. We envision a future where individuals feel inspired to take action, support one another, and contribute to the well-being of our planet.

Partnerships

Age UK Sheffield

We are proud to partner with Age UK Sheffield an independent charity dedicated to supporting older people, their families, and careers across Sheffield. Whilst they are connected to the national Age UK charity and other local Age UK branches, they operate independently and are governed by a board of trustees based in and around Sheffield.

As part of our Roots to Renewal project, Age UK Sheffield are generously donating unsaleable clothing and textiles from their stores. Together, we aim to find creative solutions to transform these items into something beautiful and functional. Our goal is to upcycle these materials into salable products that can be reintroduced into Age UK Sheffield’s retail stores, supporting their work while promoting sustainability and reducing textile waste.

This partnership not only aligns with our commitment to circular fashion but also strengthens our shared vision of nurturing creativity and sustainability within the community.

We are excited to see where this partnership will take us!
