The RENA Initiative uses arts to empower young people in the borough
By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
A community arts group called the RENA Initiative has been profiled by Hammersmith and Fulham Council for its work supporting and empowering young people across the borough through creative projects.
The group runs arts-based activities funded in part by a grant from The King's Fund, and aims to build confidence, skills and a sense of belonging among young participants. Community arts programmes of this kind have a strong track record in helping young people develop resilience, communication skills and a connection to their local area.
The RENA Initiative is one of a number of community organisations active in H&F that work alongside the council and other funders to deliver grassroots support for younger residents. The council's profile of the group highlights it as an example of the kind of creative, community-led work taking place in the borough.
Residents interested in finding out more about the RENA Initiative — whether as a participant, volunteer or potential supporter — are encouraged to read the full profile on the H&F Council website for contact details and information about upcoming activities.
