🌍 Refugee Week is just around the corner, and we’re excited to share what’s coming up at the Renewal Programme.

This year’s theme, Courage, celebrates the strength it takes to start again, build connections, and create a sense of belonging. In the next two weeks, we’ll be bringing people together through food, conversation, storytelling, community events, and opportunities for support and reflection.

We’re also proud to be working alongside local partners and creatives, including and .voices who will help facilitate the Common Ground events, workshops, and storytelling activities 💚

Stay tuned as we spotlight the people, stories, and projects that make our communities stronger.

Happy World Bicycle Day!

Today we’re celebrating how cycling creates healthier people, stronger communities, and a greener planet.

The Renewal Programme is proud to be supporting The Bike Project, a UK charity that collects second-hand bikes, refurbishes them, and donates them to refugees and people seeking asylum across the UK, helping to provide free, sustainable transport and greater independence.

In 2025, the Renewal Programme donated 33 bikes:

- 18 bikes were refurbished and donated directly to refugees and people seeking asylum, with essential safety and security equipment
- 4 bikes were sold to help fund further refurbishments, cycle training for refugee women, and programmes tackling transport poverty and isolation
- 11 bikes were recycled for parts, reducing waste and supporting a more sustainable refurbishment process

A special thank you to Oli Cox, Bike Donations Programme Manager at The Bike Project, and to our Community Hub Coordinators Somia and Jason for their continued support with this work!

🌟 Happy ! 🌟

The Renewal Programme simply wouldn’t be what it is today without our incredible volunteers. Their amazing generosity and dedication help keep our services running and ensure that everyone who walks through our doors feels welcomed, valued, and at home.

This Volunteers’ Week, we wanted to hear directly from those who give their time so selflessly.

We asked our volunteers one simple question: How does volunteering make you feel?

Here’s what they had to say... 💚

At Renewal Programme, we believe food support should do more than respond to crisis - it should help build long-term stability, dignity, and independence.

As our community’s needs continue to evolve, so are our services. ❤️

Our Food Bank will now run once a week, while our Food Club expands to twice a week, helping more households access affordable, empowering food support alongside our wider Food Collective.

We were proud to join West Ham United Foundation , and on the 29th April for a community support day bringing a real sense of community for people experiencing housing insecurity.

From hot meals and wellbeing support to clothing, free haircuts and advice services, this day was about making people feel welcomed, valued and treated with the dignity and respect everyone deserves.

And for many lifelong West Ham fans in attendance, meeting the Foundation Ambassador Carlton Cole alongside Abba Rashid (West United Academy Link Mentor) who lead an employability session definitely made the day even more memorable!

A huge thank you to everyone involved, and special thanks to our Housing Support team, including Almir Goncalves, as well as our Community Hub and Engagement Coordinator, Jason, for supporting our residents throughout the day and helping connect people into positive community activities and opportunities. 💚

“This is a safe space. Anything you say or share is safe with us. Because sometimes when you have a worry or a problem, you need people to share it with, and this is what this space is here for” - Theresa, a regular at our Women’s Coffee Morning ❤️

In today’s session we shared stories of migration, belonging, motherhood, and gratefulness. Come and join us at our next session!
