Mini-beast hotels

Handmade by Rachel and the people she supports through RenewEL

Small shelters with a big impact on people and the planet.

Mini-beast hotels offer vital homes for insects, beetles, ladybirds and other tiny helpers that keep ecosystems healthy. RenewEL builds these hotels using reclaimed materials wherever possible, teaching woodworking and design skills to people who are rebuilding their confidence and careers.

For many of the makers, creating these tiny habitats is the first time in a long time that they have held responsibility, care and pride in their hands. Watching these structures come to life - and seeing communities use them -gives them a sense of purpose that goes far beyond the workshop.

Choosing a mini-beast hotel helps nature flourish
and helps someone rebuild their sense of belonging.
