This month we welcomed the Wise Group, a long-standing Purpose Coalition partner, to share how they turn mission into measurable systems change.

First-hand experience from a Purpose Lab student.

Knowing how pensions and savings work isn’t just for later life. Getting savvy about your financial future right from day one could be the smartest move you make.

Five Purpose Lab Student Ambassadors joined senior leaders from business, education, and government at the Purpose Coalition Summer Reception recently, held at the iconic Terrace Pavilion in the House of Commons.  

When students are settling into their university accommodation, strolling around their campus or grabbing lunch, how much do they know about the people working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly?

I now see that a career with purpose isn't limited to the non-profit sector; it can mean contributing to a corporate system that is engineered to be equitable from the inside out.

Hybrid working isn’t just a buzzword. It’s reshaping how we live, connect and thrive. At Curtins, a leader in civil and structural engineering and long-time Purpose Coalition partner, hybrid working isn't just about flexibility - it's core to a commitment to social impact and wellbeing. 

I’m so thankful to the Purpose Coalition for believing in young people like me and giving us these kinds of experiences. Being an ambassador has helped me grow not just in confidence, but in purpose.

Responsible AI was the focus of the latest session in the Purpose Lab Ambassador programme where students from Purpose Coalition universities meet Purpose Coalition partners.

Senior leaders from policy, industry, and public service gathered at the Household Cavalry Museum for “Driving Social Value in the Age of AI,” a roundtable hosted by global digital services provider TP.

With each session, my determination has strengthened for building infrastructure that is not only resilient but also socially conscious and human-centred.

I’m a digital student at Teesside University, and through the Purpose Lab Student Ambassador Scheme, I’ve had the opportunity to join powerful conversations about how employers can support inclusion and create real career access.

My experience as a student ambassador for the Purpose Coalition has truly reshaped how I view the relationship between students and the professional world.

I’ve really enjoyed being a student ambassador with the Purpose Coalition. It’s given me the chance to be part of conversations that aim to shape a more inclusive future by prioritising equal opportunity and access for everyone in the workspace.

Tech careers in the NHS; I didn’t believe it—until Purpose Lab made it real for me!

A career supporting one of the biggest mental health trusts in the country was the focus of the latest session to bring together Purpose Lab Ambassadors with Purpose Coalition partners to bridge the divide between education and work.

As a Purpose Coalition Student Ambassador, I’ve had the chance to bridge my academic studies with real-world business challenges and it’s been nothing short of transformative.

The session, led by Clare Beynon, Talent Acquisition Marketing Manager, and Louise Taylor, Talent Acquisition Marketing Specialist for the Northeast, examined how Enterprise Mobility breaks down barriers – some real, some perceived – at universities across the country.

In an era where organisations are expected to do more than generate profit, the Purpose Lab offers a powerful framework for businesses, universities, and colleges to collaborate on creating real-world social impact.

Our Purpose Lab student ambassadors recently heard directly from the NHS Trust ranked the top Trust in England in 2024 about the opportunities it offers.
