The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) led the development of the 'Local Skills Improvement Plan for Greater Lincolnshire & Rutland', a vital plan of action for better education, training and skills provision, that closely reflects the needs of employers like yourselves, which was commissioned by the Department for Education and published in August 2023. We've now reached Phase 2 of the LSIP, which is all about delivering this plan. It is crucial that employers, business owners and leaders continue to feed into this process, as we need to ensure that actions intended to achieve one or more of the priorities outlined in the LSIP Report, are hitting the mark and having the desired effect. Completing this online survey will take around 15 minutes and represents a crucial input to both navigating and evaluating the implementation and impact of the LSIP.

It's a privilege to be a resource for those that are supporting positive change and education in the natural environment. We can't do what you do, but we can do what we do, to help you do what you do. From a quick edit or reformat of your own footage for a social clip.. a media creation day to get a heap of content for you to use throughout the year.. or photographs, a short film, a documentary, a series.

More on how we do that to follow. #climatechange #rewilding #forgood #ourocean #sustainability

We are proud of our status as a cooperative, especially at a time when the new UK government is pledging to double the size of the cooperative sector. Alongside this, the United Nations is declaring 2025 to be the International Year of Cooperatives. We’ll certainly be doing our bit to celebrate the many benefits that member-owned businesses bring to society. Established in April 2021, The Intermediary Cooperative has aimed to deliver quality intermediary services to some of the most vulnerable people in society in a different way. We believe there are many points of difference between TIC and other service providers including: 🔸 We’re the only not-for-profit intermediary provider in England and Wales. 🔸 We offer good value for money as we always try to match intermediaries local to the referral. 🔸 We will offer consistency of intermediaries, a real positive for the service user. 🔸 We are all highly skilled professionals, bringing a wealth of knowledge and skills from a variety of clinical backgrounds. 🔸 We provide recommendations based on personalised assessments. 🔸 Our assessment process is ongoing and therefore recommendations can be updated, changed or amended during proceedings if appropriate or necessary. Underpinning the work of our network of over 50 intermediaries across England and Wales are our five values. 🔸 Integrity: The highest levels of ethical and professional standards. 🔸 Social Responsibility: Dedicated to making a positive impact on society. 🔸 Person-Centred: We view each service user as an individual and tailor our support to meet their specific needs. 🔸 Holistic: We consider all internal and external factors that may pose barriers to communication. 🔸 Excellence: We are committed to the pursuit of excellence in the delivery of intermediary services and our work as a social enterprise. If you have a potential requirement for intermediary services and like the values that we live and breathe at The Intermediary Cooperative, please contact [email protected] You can read more about the UN declaring 2025 the International Year of Cooperatives here - https://lnkd.in/eyQTXiFB United Nations Clare Thomas Nicky Tolley Ministry of Justice UK HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) #justice #communication #legal #HMCTS Cooperatives UK Rose Marley Louise Evans

Our Chief Sustainability Officer, Michelle Ryan, spoke on BBC Radio Jersey last Sunday, discussing all things sustainability and the inaugural Sustainable Business Conference Channel Islands. If you missed it, you can catch the interview on the link below — tune in from 1h 13 minutes. "The misconception about sustainable finance is that people think it’s only about financial service organisations becoming more sustainable internally. However, the most significant impact a financial institution can make is through the money it deploys and the capital it manages. This includes fiduciary services and trust companies that administer wealth and provide corporate services. It’s about asking ourselves: Are we financing positive change, or are we continuing to fund actions that harm the planet and people? Every decision we make contributes one way or another.'" https://lnkd.in/eiGqdyfi #sustainablefinance #sustainability #impactinvesting #ethicalinvestments #carbonfootprint #esg #sustainablebusiness #sdgs
