Flourishing new website for an independent,
award-winning charity
Roots and Shoots
The Project
Roots and Shoots is an award-winning educational and environmental charity based in Kennington, South London. Since transforming a derelict site in 1982, it has grown into a thriving vocational training centre with biodiverse wildlife gardens, offering a unique space where both people and nature are supported to flourish.
Following a competitive pitch, Hotfoot was appointed to design and develop a new website that reflects the spirit of the organisation—celebrating its impact, strengthening its digital presence, and engaging its diverse community of learners, volunteers, and supporters.
Strategy
Hotfoot worked closely with the team at Roots and Shoots to design and build a beautiful, user-friendly website that delivers a seamless experience across all devices. Clear calls-to-action make it easy for visitors to explore the charity’s work, learn how to get involved, enquire about volunteering, or make a donation.
The website brings to life the inspiring story of Roots and Shoots—from empowering young people in London to gain new skills and confidence, to helping them prepare for the world of work and achieve their ambitions.
Built on an intuitive content management system, the site gives the Roots and Shoots team full control to share updates, showcase projects, and keep their community connected and inspired.

What our lovely client had to say...
"The Hotfoot team is made up of very friendly, professional, accommodating and responsive team members who made creating the website (a huge task) a smooth and enjoyable process. They created the initial excellent design and were happy to collaborate to tailor it perfectly to our organisation. As the member of staff who will be updating and editing the website regularly, the back-end CMS is very easy to use and has many custom options to ensure every page looks cohesive and slick. We would definitely recommend working with Hotfoot, overall a 10/10 5* experience."
