We recently published our South West & West Midlands Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) Social Impact Report for 2022/23. The report showcases the positive outcomes achieved by the social enterprises invested in by the two funds, in 2022/23. This includes providing individuals and communities with education, work, training, volunteering and skills-development opportunities and supporting people with mental and physical health, wellbeing and addiction issues, amongst many others. Of the social enterprises invested in by the funds: - 47% are operating directly in areas experiencing high levels of poverty - 89% contribute towards helping people overcome barriers to employment - 89% provide education and learning opportunities for young people - 42% support people experiencing addiction and homelessness - 79% contribute towards equity, diversity and inclusion in their communities - 74% are contributing towards tackling health and wellbeing inequalities in their communities And although the funds are now fully deployed, the twenty-seven social enterprises continue to help people access the support they need to tackle poverty-related issues.

We’re delighted to have published our latest combined South West and West Midlands Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) Social Impact Report for 2022/23. This report highlights the outcomes achieved by the social enterprises invested in by the two funds. With 47% of investees operating directly within geographic areas experiencing some of the highest levels of income deprivation, the support, opportunities and services they provide their local communities with, are contributing towards pathways out of poverty. During 2022/23, positive outcomes achieved by investees for the people they support included improved health and wellbeing, access to employment and learning opportunities, raising aspirations, developing skills and strengthening support networks. In doing so, people experiencing some of the highest levels of poverty were provided with improved chances to move out of poverty and into more healthy, settled and stable lives.

Today is World Youth Skills Day – a day designated by the United Nations to highlight the importance of providing young people with skills for decent employment. #WorldYouthSkillsDay aims to recognise the potential of young people as catalysts for positive change. In celebration, we wanted to showcase the fantastic work of one of our West Midlands SITR Fund investees, The Skill Mill. The Skill Mill works with young ex-offenders to increase their employability through a range of supported training and employment opportunities, primarily through their environmental projects including flood management and construction. As well as a recognised qualification, the young people at The Skill Mill also gain the skills and self-confidence to reconnect with their community and improve their emotional and physical wellbeing.
