Achieve your social value goals

Our social enterprises offer a range of solutions to fulfil your social value goals and to engage in ‘guilt free giving’.  At the same time as achieving your business objectives, working with us will enable you to make a long-lasting social impact.

Together, we will:

  • Foster a diverse and inclusive workforce
  • Empower people to lead independent lives
  • Create sustainable employment opportunities for the citizens of Birmingham and Solihull
  • Drive social innovation by removing barriers to employment for people with complex needs
  • Build a legacy by supporting long-term change

Using our social enterprises to deliver positive value to the lives of everyone we touch.

  • What is social value?

    • Social value goes beyond goods or services, and considers the broader impact business decisions can have on well-being in society, the economy, and the environment
    • By prioritising social sustainability, training opportunities, and engagement with marginalised communities, Better Pathways can help your business to generate significant social value.  The social value you procure through us will, in turn, help us to deliver long-term social impact
    • However big or small – we make social value easy for you

    What our participants say about us

    “Better Pathways’ support has helped me to manage my stress and think about my actions before I act on them. I can now respond, not react.”

    “I am around people who have had similar life experiences to me, I don’t feel like the odd one out where I feel that I can’t talk to anyone.”

    “I want to use my experience from here to get a proper job, and to use the support from Better Pathways to help me into work or even to go to college once a week.”

    “I’m getting the experience of work, but it feels much more supported.”

    “The Better Pathways team have worked flexibly to support my needs. Now I am working to continue my sessions and the staff are always there when I need someone to talk to”

    Trusts and Foundations

    As a charity, we at Better Pathways rely on the generous funding we receive from a number of trusts and foundations.

    We collaborate with those who share our conviction to improve the lives of our vulnerable communities, to help these individuals to build their self-confidence, reduce their social isolation and to learn new skills to move into employment.
