Social Impact (CSR) – Giving Back to the Community
We deliver structured CSR programmes that create measurable social value, empowering young people and strengthening communities through skills, mentorship, and opportunity.
What We Deliver
In the UK and across Europe, far too many young people are locked out of opportunity. Nearly one in eight young people aged 16–24 are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), leaving them at greater risk of social exclusion, economic instability, and exposure to gang influence and crime. Research also shows that around one in nine teenagers have been approached to handle drugs, money, or weapons, highlighting how quickly vulnerable youth can be drawn into harmful environments that limit life chances. For ex-offenders, the barriers are even steeper: despite evidence that stable employment significantly reduces re-offending, those with criminal records often struggle to find work due to prejudice and gaps in workplace readiness.
Our CSR partnership programme actively addresses these problems by combining financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, and leadership development with structured mentorship and real pathways into work. Young people aged 11–30 participate in interactive workshops, innovation challenges, and pre-apprenticeship experiences, supported by CSR employees, community volunteers, and Army personnel. The Army's involvement strengthens leadership, discipline, teamwork, and resilience, while CSR partners provide industry-relevant guidance and mentorship, building confidence and employability. This unique collaboration helps youth break cycles of disengagement, supports ex-offender reintegration, and equips communities with skills that reduce vulnerability to crime.
Service Scope

Our programme is designed not just for impact but for measurable social value that aligns with European corporate reporting standards.
Under the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), companies subject to EU sustainability reporting must disclose meaningful Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data, including how their activities affect people and society and contribute to broader goals. By partnering on this initiative, CSR organisations can directly fulfil social KPIs required under CSRD and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), contributing evidence of social performance such as youth employment pathways, reduced crime exposure, enhanced financial inclusion, diversity and inclusion outcomes, and community resilience. This allows companies to transparently demonstrate how their social investments produce real, measurable outcomes as part of their CSRD reports, while advancing EU sustainability and SDG commitments.
