Social Value
Inspire Futures is built around delivering meaningful social value that changes lives, fuels business growth and success as well as strengthening communities.
Building a Better Future Through ESG Action
We are addressing and improving key areas within ESG, that are a critical concern for the UK Government, Industry Stakeholders, and the wider community.
Empowering People and Communities
We help individuals from priority groups gain the confidence, skills, and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society. This creates stronger and more inclusive communities.
Enhancing Employer Impact and Reputation
Partnering with Inspire Futures enables organisations to fill skills gaps while demonstrating a genuine commitment to social value and ESG goals. This strengthens brand reputation and supports success in future tenders.
Delivering Measurable, Long-Term Change
Our data-driven reporting ensures every partnership achieves transparent and trackable outcomes. This approach proves real social, economic, and community impact that benefits everyone involved.
Our Key Areas of Social Impact
• Reducing NEETs
A NEET is defined as an individual not in education, employment or training. Our training programme, supports and educates these individuals before providing them with job opportunities.
• Inclusive Employment
We offer support, guidance, education and training to priority groups, enhancing their wellbeing, skills and employability before placing them into a tailored role where they can thrive and build a stable future.
• Addressing the Skills Shortage
The UK’s skills shortage has reached critical levels over the past decade, particularly in the construction industry. We work with our employers to identify skills gaps and fill them with talent from our candidate pool.
• Section 106 & Tender Commitments
Social value is now crucial to winning and delivering contracts. We help organisations achieve their tender commitments, section 106 obligations, and social value KPIs, ensuring they avoid costly penalties, retain existing contracts, and are able to set more ambitious targets in new tenders.
• Impact Reporting
Social value must be transparent and tangible. We provide comprehensive, data-driven impact reports to demonstrate our outcomes and ensure we are making a positive difference. These also act as evidence for our employers so they can win bids, satisfy KPIs and showcase the difference they are positively contributing towards.
