Where are we now

PHASE 1 PILOT

The Community Progression Hub is already live, with self-funded pilot activities beginning in 2023 through the Career Readiness Pathway. Since then, the impact has continued to grow, extending beyond local communities to wider communities across the UK.

The Career Readiness Pathway focuses on building confidence, employability skills, CV development, interview preparation, career direction, and practical progression support. Through coaching, mentoring, and structured support, participants have gone on to secure employment opportunities, improve confidence, and make meaningful career progress.

PHASE 2 PILOT

The Wellbeing & Stabilisation Pathway was launched in April 2025 in partnership with Medicare Foundation. This pathway began with a small pilot cohort and continues to grow as more individuals step forward to engage with the programme.

The pathway currently includes ladies only swimming sessions, tennis activities (Ages 5–16), and other wellbeing-focused initiatives designed to support physical health, emotional resilience, confidence, social connection, and overall wellbeing.

As part of the Monday women’s swimming programme, participants’ blood pressure readings are taken before and after sessions. This has already helped identify underlying health concerns that some participants were previously unaware of, leading to GP referrals and earlier intervention where needed.

Both the swimming and the tennis project have resulted in noticeable improvements wellbeing, alongside positive feedback relating to reduced stress, improved physical fitness, increased confidence, better emotional states, and stronger social connection.

We are continuing to test, refine, and strengthen these pathways to better understand long-term community needs, measurable outcomes, and sustainable impact.

WHAT NEXT — Phase 3 PILOT

Phase 3 pilot of the Community Progression Hub (CPH) will officially commence in September 2026 with the launch of the first cohort of the Aspiring Leaders Programme (ALP) — a 9-month transformational leadership and personal development journey designed to help aspiring and emerging leaders grow in confidence, communication, strategic thinking, leadership identity, and long-term progression.

Phase 3 will support the continued strengthening of the wider CPH model through participant feedback and measurable outcomes.

Our goal is not simply to deliver programmes, but to build sustainable, community-led pathways that empower individuals, strengthen confidence, improve wellbeing, unlock opportunities, and create lasting long-term impact across communities.

As we continue to grow, refine, and expand the vision, we remain committed to creating practical, accessible, and transformational opportunities that help people move from uncertainty to confidence, progression, and purpose.
