Renaissance UK Ltd is a North West based charity, currently operating across Lancashire, Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen. We specialise in community focused substance use and sexual health harm reduction services.
Founded in 1986, we started as a drugs helpline in Lancashire with funding from NCH Action for Children. Over the years we have expanded and restructured, responding to the needs of our beneficiaries.
Currently we work across three local authorities delivering harm reduction, assertive outreach, specialist support and moving forward opportunities such as volunteering and training. All strands of our work support a sexual health or substance use local need.
