The Renewal Trust - Nottingham

Sarah F.

We absolutely love the renewal trust. The staff put so much effort in to sports sessions and events for the children. Holidays are made so much easier with the events available and my children are always well looked after and safe.

My children attended one of their sports session from word of mouth, however after hearing what my children had observed and experienced I then did not send them the next day. I have used Renewal Trust previously and had minor setbacks but nothing of this sort where my children felt they and couple of other students were isolated and treated differently. When questioning my children it seemed they were all children of the same ethnicity and background. very disappointed.

I was absolutely appalled at the way my son was treated at one of the sports sessions during holiday camp. This was the first ever time I have sent him to one of Renewal Trust sessions and the way he was spoken to during the session and threatened constantly, I had him in tears when I picked him up.

I sent him on the basis of Renewal Trust having such a big name but I am very disappointed.

My son was accused of pushing into another participant and when he said he did not the organisers put pressure on him to admit to something he did not do. It is absolutely disgusting the way the adults have behaved towards my son.

He was also outed by one of the organisers about his Football tshirt only because he supported a team that lost, even though this may have been a joke but to a Primary school age child this was not a joke. When this was pointed out my son was then picked on by other children throughout the session. This is absolutely horrific for a child to experience and the adults here are intimidating and initiating bullying amongst the children.

My son is an honest boy and I do not just say this as a parent, he was threatened with cctv camera footage of hurting this other participant but no one has mentioned this footage when i placed my complaint. I would like to see this footage and I'm certain it will show when my son was being intimidated and pressured.

Children told they are "stupid", "idiots", and to "shut up".

I placed a complaint but clearly the company CEO is biased and her staff members are truthfull after denying everything.

It's no skin off their chin and neither it is of mine I just hope other children do not experience this and if the member of staff have any decency they will change their demeanor and delivery of their sessions.

Some children come from backgrounds that intimidation, bullying, rudeness and manipulation is a norm hence why when they experience it at organisations like these they don't speak up. It's very disappointing as the area that they deliver these sessions in is a an area where we need to see this sort of change happening and it can only happen through these organisations but if they don't see anything wrong in what and how they do things then what hope does Nottingham have.

St Ann's allotment site sounds like it's being run by a bunch of demagogues.
People just want to grow stuff and enjoy life without silly beaurocracy.
Good luck Guys with your plots appeals
