The Story Trail 2026 – Renaissance Trust supports Amaze

Renaissance Trust is pleased to support Amaze as the Trail Sponsor of The Story Trail, a new initiative celebrating children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) across Brighton & Hove. We are joined in this sponsorship by our sister companies, Renaissance Legal and Renaissance Financial, reflecting a shared commitment across the group to organisations that make a meaningful difference to the families we work with.

The Story Trail is a free, city-wide experience that invites families to explore Brighton & Hove through a series of illustrated story points. Each location has been shaped by the voices of SEND young people and brought to life by local artists. The trail offers a gentle way for families to spend time together, discover new places and enjoy something created with inclusion at its heart.

Our work often brings us into contact with families navigating complex circumstances. Many are supported by Amaze, and we see first-hand the value of the guidance they provide. Supporting this project allows us to contribute to something that celebrates creativity and community, while also recognising the resilience and imagination of the families we serve.

Scott Clayton, Managing Director, said:

Our sponsorship reflects a commitment that goes beyond delivering a high-quality professional service to the families we advise locally and further afield. It also speaks to our belief in supporting projects that have a positive social impact. We look forward to seeing the trail come to life in 2026 and to playing a small part in bringing art, reading and community closer to home.

The trail will run across Brighton & Hove, and all families are welcome to take part. Whether visiting one location or completing the full route, participation helps raise awareness of Amaze’s work and the experiences of SEND young people in our city.

Once the trail begins, the sculptures – including the dedicated Renaissance BookBench – will be displayed in public areas across the city for eight weeks. After this time, they will be displayed all in one location at a farewell exhibition in November – They will then be auctioned off to raise money for Amaze.

We are proud to support this project as a group and look forward to seeing families enjoy the trail when it launches
