A review of our work

Donna

Introduction

There's a lot happening at Reed in Partnership right now and, as we end our financial year, we felt it was the right time to bring it all together. This report is an opportunity to reflect on the progress we've made and share the impact we're having transforming people and their communities.

This report captures a year of achievement, learning and change, and sets the tone for the future we're building.

We've provided the key headlines here, but please do download our full report at the end of the page for all the detail.

We hope it gives you a clear sense of who we are, what we stand for and where we're going next.

Our Highlights

  • We improved thousands of lives through work

    This year over 50,000 new unemployed jobseekers used our employability services, which address the diverse challenges faced by people who need help to find work, with 28,780 successfully moving into employment or self-employment, demonstrating the effectiveness of our interventions.

  • We celebrated 10 years of Reed Wellbeing

    Our subsidiary company is addressing some of the country's most pressing health challenges by supporting almost half a million people to lead healthier lives.

    And this year we launched My Wellbeing Hub, a digital platform developed to revolutionise tobacco cessation and promote healthier lifestyle habits.

  • We trialled new AI tools to support jobseekers

    We were proud to be the first employability services provider to collaborate with Beam and use their Magic Notes meeting summarisation tool to enrich the ways our Employment Advisers interact with jobseekers.

    We trialled new <strong>AI tools</strong> to support jobseekers

  • We demonstrated our commitment to our Armed Forces

    We launched the new Career Transition Partnership for the Ministry of Defence to support thousands of personnel leaving the Armed Forces after their Service. Through personal advice and guidance, vocational training, digital tools and large employment fairs we ensured 94% of them were in permanent employment six months after their discharge.

    We demonstrated our <strong>commitment</strong> to our Armed Forces

  • We pioneered VR road safety research

    We delivered an innovative project that used virtual reality technology to help young drivers develop improved hazard awareness. Our evaluation showed that the course increased their self-rated knowledge of the DVSA hazard perception test and understanding of hazard perception processes.

  • We championed energy efficiency and green skills

    We engaged with homeowners across Suffolk to improve the energy consumption of their property through a retrofit assessment voucher scheme, and we also upskilled hundreds of plumbers, gas engineers and electricians to install and maintain climate-friendly heat pumps, Solar PV and battery storage technology.

    We <strong>championed</strong> energy efficiency and green skills

  • We reached £81 million in social value delivered

    Our company's mission ensures that the things we do are always focused on the positive transformation of people and their communities. But providing additional social value means going further still, including helping volunteering and community sector organisations to thrive, supporting the social mobility of young people and addressing health inequalities.
