In simple terms, RedWelly™ is a social enterprise that brings gardens to life for the benefit of the local community and its people. Born from a garden maintenance programme that’s been running for over four years, our development is funded by the European Union via Derby City Partnership.

By transforming uncared for space into established gardens, we’re able to bring superb team building experiences to all types of people and organisations. Our work also provides life-changing training, development and employment for those at risk of missing out on these kinds of opportunities.

Through our work we’ve been able to generate a strong network of people and organisations, including long-term partnerships with business, government and other voluntary sector organisations.

Current partners include Rolls-Royce, East Midlands Airport, Egg and Lubrizol. And as RedWelly™ enjoys a great profile within the local community, we also attract many sponsors. To date bfcc has contributed to our marketing campaign, A-Plant Tool Hire Shops have provided tooling and equipment and Enterprise has kindly supplied minibuses.
