The Purpose Coalition in 2024: a year of progress and partnerships
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s a great time to reflect on what’s been an incredible year for the Purpose Coalition.
It’s been a year full of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to making a real difference across the UK. We’ve seen the Coalition continue to grow, bringing together partners from various sectors to tackle some of the biggest challenges society faces today.
Celebrating Partnership and Innovation
One of the highlights of the year happened on Monday 9th December, when The Purpose Coalition hosted a reception in Parliament. We teamed up with Anchor, England’s largest not-for-profit housing and care provider, and Plentific, a leading property tech platform, to celebrate their game-changing digital housing partnership. Their collaboration aims to improve the living experience for Anchor’s 65,000 residents by streamlining property services through smart technology.
This partnership really reflects what the Purpose Coalition is all about: using innovation to create lasting social impact. With Plentific’s cutting-edge platform, Anchor can respond to residents’ needs faster and more efficiently. It’s a great example of how tech can improve lives and strengthen communities.
The reception brought together a fantastic mix of people, including representatives from Enterprise Mobility and Clyde & Co. Seeing such a diverse group committed to positive change was truly inspiring. It was a chance to celebrate achievements, build new connections, and share ideas with MPs, business leaders, and like-minded changemakers.
As we head into 2025, we’re excited to keep building on this momentum. With new partnerships, fresh ideas, and an unwavering commitment to positive change, we’re ready to push even further.
Driving Progress in Health and Education
2024 also saw some incredible work in healthcare. NHS Trusts like Shropshire Community Health, South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, and Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust have been leading the charge. Their innovative approaches to integrated care and patient-first services are making a real difference in reducing health inequalities and improving access to essential care in the communities they serve.
Education has also been front and centre of our work this year. College groups like NCG and Capital City College have pushed the boundaries with new programmes aimed at improving opportunities for students from underrepresented backgrounds. By building strong partnerships with employers and communities, they’re helping young people develop skills and create better futures.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Looking back on 2024, it’s clear that Purpose Coalition partners have achieved a lot—but we’re just getting started. The progress we’ve seen shows that breaking down barriers isn’t just a goal—it’s something we can make happen together.
As we head into 2025, we’re excited to keep building on this momentum. With new partnerships, fresh ideas, and an unwavering commitment to positive change, we’re ready to push even further. Together, we’ll continue working toward a fairer, more inclusive society—one step at a time.
