Our history
A story of regeneration
Our name, Regenda, comes from two words: regeneration and agenda. It reflects what we do. we improve places and create chances for people.
We’ve grown a lot since we started in 2001. Over time, we’ve joined with housing associations that go back as far as 1963. These include West Pennine, Limehurst Village Trust in Oldham, Templar in Macclesfield, Wyre in Poulton-le-Fylde and Maritime in Liverpool. Together, we built a strong reputation for doing things differently.
We’ve expanded our work in Independent Living, property development and regeneration. In 2009, we bought M&Y Maintenance and Construction to offer better value repairs. Later, we launched Redwing Living to manage private rent, sales and shared ownership. We also welcomed Alder Training, which helps people learn skills and get jobs in health, care, business and housing.
These businesses help fund affordable homes and community projects through Regenda Homes.
In recent years, we’ve grown even more. We’ve welcomed:
Petrus Community, a charity supporting people facing homelessness
Centre 56, which provides childcare for families affected by domestic abuse
Positive Footprints, which helps young people build confidence and skills
We now own or manage around 13,000 homes across the North West. We’re proud of our experience, our fresh ideas and the results we deliver.
