The Purpose Lab, a major campaign of The Purpose Coalition, was celebrated at a reception held yesterday at The Vincent Rooms, Westminster, bringing together student ambassadors, universities, colleges, employers and policymakers to celebrate the growing national impact of the Purpose Lab programme.

In recent Purpose Lab sessions, students joined Serco and The Purpose Coalition to explore how a major public-service provider turns purpose into practice - across careers, ESG and colleague networks. 

Purpose Lab student ambassadors explored mental health in the workplace and how to make frontline careers in rail more accessible in two recent sessions with c2c. 

“It’s great that the Curriculum Review launched by the DfE earlier this week includes recommendations to improve financial literacy. Feeling in control of our finances and understanding the maths in situations we face in our everyday lives is a hugely important part of the solution on social mobility and in turn, a way we can help drive economic growth.” - Rt Hon Justine Greening

The Purpose Lab Student Ambassador programme continues to empower young people with practical, workplace-ready skills.

Liverpool Hope University welcomed Ian Byrne MP to its campus, where he toured facilities - including a state-of-the-art simulation lab - met students and staff, and heard about the university’s work in the local community.

Decarbonisation should be seen not just as an environmental necessity, but as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in people, places, and potential.
