Rooted is becoming a centre for reparative approaches to design and innovation
Black voices and contributions are critical to the future of society.
If we are to build a more nourishing and sustaining future for us all, we need new ways to transform the systems we live in.
A new era of Rooted is unfolding – The Centre for Reparative Innovation.

The impact of our work
Our work with Black African and Caribbean communities across health, finance, and the environment demonstrates the value of co-creating alternative solutions that challenge and reshape existing systems.
Creating new models of participation that centre repair
We work in partnership with communities to bridge gaps between people and policy change.
Experimenting with new models of policy design
We’ve co-designed and tested governance models for shifting decision-making power into the hands of communities
Pioneering new practice across the system
We’ve established an equity design practice and embedded it across local authority teams, NHS Trusts, digital teams and other system actors.
Reimagining new types of public infrastructure
We’ve prototyped radical services, solutions and infrastructure that demonstrate the possibilities that future innovations can offer society.
We’re evolving to meet the moment. Don't miss out

Who we’ve worked with
We’re committed to working in partnership with leaders and organisations who share our vision of transforming systems so that we all can live well.
