Who are Renew Wales? We are made up of co-ordinators and mentors.

Renew Wales has co-ordinators and mentors based at host organisations all across Wales to help support the community groups we work with. In addition, there is a central team of three people who run the everyday functions, communications and overall direction of the programme and a steering group who guide the strategic aims.
