Corporate Social Responsibility

We are proud to have both raised funds for and provided, or pledged, financial support to several charities or deserving causes.

Our business aims to create new places that impact positively to the health and wellbeing of the people within the communities which we operate in or in fact, help to create!

We engage with the communities in which we operate, to help shape our plans moving forward and foster a philosophy of continual improvement.

We go beyond placemaking and we’re continually curating events that help develop a real sense of community cohesion and belonging.

We’re also proud to be supporting the CyanLines mega project – a 100 mile plus network connecting and improving Manchester city centre’s parks, squares, rivers, canals and viaducts.

This ambitious city-wide initiative will transform how people experience Manchester’s green and natural spaces, unlocking a huge pipeline of opportunities. From major interventions like the future phases of National Trust Castlefield Viaduct and the idea of a new walkway across the River Irwell.

The first CyanLines routes already link together some of Manchester’s best-known spots – including Mayfield, New Islington Marina Park, Castlefield Viaduct, the Canal Basin, Symphony Park, Kampus and Ancoats Green – with lesser known pocket parks, canal towpaths, pedestrian walkways and future spaces such as the Science Museum courtyard, Central Retail Park, Victoria North, Holt Town and the Medieval Quarter.

CyanLines is part of a bold mission to make Manchester greener, healthier and more connected – investing in the future of our communities, our biodiversity, and our quality of life.

We recognise the importance of culture and often support cultural events or initiatives.

We support Z-arts, an important and dedicated arts centre for children and young people based in Hulme, Manchester city centre. The centre engages around 100,000 people each year through its outreach programmes and offers outstanding on-site facilities, including a 230-seat theatre, exhibition gallery, recording studio, and music and dance studios.

We are proud of our track record and performance in providing jobs, structured training and development opportunities to local people. We further extend our reach and impact in creating opportunities and developing talent through leverage and pro-active engagement with our wider partner network.

Through our partnership with “Class of Your Own” – creators of the award-winning ‘Design Engineer Construct!’ learning programme – we proudly co-adopt Didsbury High School to promote careers in Construction Project Management and Quantity Surveying.

By offering site visits, mentoring, and hands-on insight into real projects, we help bring the built environment to life for students – both inside and outside the classroom.

“We are so pleased to have the opportunity to be working with Renaker. Having industry professionals visit the school to work with our students is invaluable. It hugely enhances students’ experiences as it allows them to learn from, and to be inspired by the experts.”
