  • Ren Fernando: Championing Kindness and Community through ReLove

    Ren Fernando: Championing Kindness and Community through ReLove
    May 6 2024

    Summary

    Ren Fernando, the co-founder of Re-Love, shares the story behind the organisation and its mission to support people in crisis by providing them with furniture and household items. Re-Love was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic to address the need for furniture for individuals and families setting up new homes. The organisation rescues furniture from corporate relocations and hotels and offers it for free in their store. The impact of having a furnished home goes beyond providing basic necessities; it gives people a sense of dignity, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. Ren's personal experiences and empathy drive her to help others, and she believes in the resilience and creativity of individuals facing challenges. Re-Love's work is not just about providing furniture; it is about creating human connections and moments of joy for those they support. Ren discusses the importance of constantly rethinking and adapting their approach to meet the challenges they face.

    They emphasise the need to remove barriers and provide free services to support those in need. Funding and organising volunteers are ongoing challenges, but they have found success in creating additional revenue streams.

    Ren also shares insights on being a woman in the startup space and the value of having a co-founder. They highlight the importance of collaboration and environmental responsibility. Building a team and finding funding are key priorities for the future, and the running group continues to provide support and community engagement.
