Who we are

The TREES Group

TREES (Training, Regeneration, Education, Employment, Sustainability) Limited is one of the largest social enterprise groups based in the Midlands.

Our vision is to deliver social justice through enterprise and along with running a number of our own social enterprises, TREES promotes and supports social enterprise development through partnership working across the private, public and social enterprise sectors.

It was originally founded to create employment, training opportunities, local services and wealth in deprived communities across the midlands, while supporting community regeneration throughout the region. The TREES group includes several businesses that operate in a range of commercial and social sectors – from conferences, construction to landscaping and grounds maintenance.

TREES helped to launch Newlife Regeneration Construction in 1999. In 2002, the success of this company enabled the group to focus on developing Highpoint – a conference venue on the outskirts of Leicester city centre. The TREES Group has progressively expanded its output over the past ten years and now delivers projects both nationally and internationally. TREES also provides interim management solutions, primarily, to the housing association and social enterprise sectors and supports or is an integral part of a number of social enterprises.

TREES continues to promote and develop social enterprise on both a national and international stage with the delivery of the SPARK programme, a joint venture with the Big Issue Invest and other partners, the establishment of linkages with Social Traders Australia leading to the launch of “The Crunch” (a programme modelled on Spark) and recognition from a number of local and National agencies as an innovative solution provider.

 

What We Do?

TREES believes that the delivery of social justice to disadvantaged groups through providing training, education and employment opportunities is key to produce true regeneration of communities, and that this can be achieved through enterprise.

Our aim is to deliver opportunity to those socially disadvantaged, this may be due to educational, training, employment, deprivation and disability issues.

TREES recognises that the development of partnerships and joint working with other organisations is the key to creating sustainable businesses.

The TREES Group is continuing its successful strategy of investment and growth whilst creating opportunities for people to achieve their ambitions.
