Hi, we’re Renewed Horizons
Renewed Horizons is a community interest company that supports people who are economically inactive or excluded from the labour market to move into employment and long-term independence.
We combine the proactive, employer-focused approach of a recruitment consultancy with the values and accountability of a social enterprise. Alongside our employment support delivery, we are developing a social value–led recruitment approach, working with employers to align entry-level hiring with inclusive employment outcomes.
Our delivery model is holistic and trauma-informed, shaped by the understanding that long-term unemployment and repeated rejection can significantly impact confidence, wellbeing, and motivation. Rebuilding self-belief, agency, and trust is a core part of how we support people back into the labour market.
We work one-to-one with individuals to identify barriers, build practical employability, and take a direct, hands-on approach to securing interviews, work trials, volunteering placements, and paid roles. Where appropriate, this includes employer brokerage and recruitment activity that creates fair and realistic routes into work.
Our impact is practical and outcomes-focused. From first engagement through to sustained employment, Renewed Horizons delivers personalised support that helps people move from unemployment into meaningful and sustainable work.

We make that straightforward. Renewed Horizons is a purpose-built social recruitment partner. Our model generates social value outcomes as a direct by-product of normal commercial recruitment activity — at no extra cost or administrative burden to you.

Council Commissioned Projects
Support and Advocacy Program aimed at helping members of the community who have been long term unemployed
Inclusive North – Minority Ethnic Employment Support Programme
Helps minority ethnic job seekers across East Lancashire access employment, build confidence, and work toward long-term independence.
In 2024 we launched as successful employment based Pilot Scheme with the British Red Cross.
Pilot – Re-Empowerment session
This would consist of 10–15-minute sit down 1-1 with a diverse group across the community. The aim
is to listen to their experiences, find out why they think they are struggling, what hurdles they have
faced and followed by a brief CV review. I would then offer to make and e-mail a short action plan to
them and their work coach/support worker. This being an alternative to the traditional 1 hour job
club format and allows for a more tailored, assertive service.
I would like these short meetings to aid in dispelling any negative self-image they may have
developed whilst unemployed or in crisis and to re-inspire aspiration in people who may have lost it. I
would reinvigorate their job search by providing a sensible evaluation and making them feel like they
are not "failing" and that with a focused plan of action they could find job opportunities in the local
area.
This will hopefully have a boost on their mental health and give them belief in the service Renewed
Horizons provides. Additionally, the hope is that this Pilot will allow me to show how effective this
service is for potential joint projects in the future.
In effect this is a taster for potential service user’s as well as our potential partners.
Pilot Scheme
In partnership with Inclusive North, we deliver the Minority Employment Support and Advocacy Project, supporting individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds who face multiple barriers to employment — including homelessness, long term unemployment, and Justice involved persons. Our approach is person-centred and advocacy-led, combining employability support with practical help around housing, access to services, and navigating complex systems. We work closely with local partners to create joined-up pathways into stability, training, and sustainable work.
Chorley Employment Support Project
Helps long-term unemployed individuals overcome barriers to work, build confidence, and move towards meaningful employment. Delivered in partnership with Chorley Council and the local Jobcentre, the programme offers one-to-one guidance, employer engagement, and accessible drop-in sessions. To date, we’ve supported over 20 participants, achieving successful outcomes such as entry into work, volunteering, and vocational training. Our strong local presence and trusted community networks have been key to its success.
