In response to the below article:

At Unity in Community, our staff don’t just deliver services, they build trust, consistency and hope in our community where support services have dwindled and are now often hardest to access.

In 2023, Unity in Community was fortunate to be part of a consortium of local organisations selected to deliver UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) programmes across Hull. This work was delivered through three community-focused strands:

Exploring Opportunities – a barrier-breaking project supporting residents facing complex challenges to employment.

Exploring Employment – an Intermediate Labour Market programme where we became the employer, placing local residents into roles within their chosen sector to demonstrate their capabilities to future employers.

Exploring Volunteering – a one-year programme supporting volunteering opportunities and helping residents gain the skills and confidence to move into volunteering roles.

Over the past three years, our UKSPF-funded, community-based employment support has helped:

• 535 HU6 residents engage with employment or training
• 72% of participants progress into outcomes with lasting impact (employment, education or volunteering)
• 165 people move directly into employment
• 149 residents progress into education

This impact doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from skilled staff who know their communities, understand local challenges, and are trusted by the people they support.

With current funding ending in March and no confirmed transition arrangements in place, organisations like ours are now facing the very real possibility of losing those staff, and with them, the relationships and community infrastructure built over many years.

This isn’t just about jobs. It’s about whether residents furthest from the labour market continue to have access to trusted, community-embedded support or whether that support quietly disappears.

We remain hopeful that a solution can be found and stand ready to work constructively with partners to protect what has been built, and the communities who rely on it.

Meanwhile, we remain committed to the residents we serve, supporting people into work, delivering adult learning in Maths, English, IT, Teaching and Construction, running a 16–19 Study Programme for young people taking their first steps into the construction industry, and providing vital support including fuel vouchers, energy advice and warm measures for homes, and food bank provision.

This work changes lives and we don’t want to see it lost.

— Liam Woods, CEO, Unity in Community

A councillor said it 'would be absolutely cruel and perverse if the very people employed in our communities to get people into work risk being put out of work themselves because of delays'

Thank you to The Pilot and Carling 🍻

Throughout December, for every pint of Carling sold at The Pilot, 5p was donated to a local food bank charity - and thanks to everyone’s incredible support, an amazing £59.00 was raised!

A huge thank you to The Pilot for selling Carling this December and supporting our community, and to Carling for being part of such a great cause.

A special thank you as well to all the staff and customers who made this possible. Your support truly makes a difference 💙
