KINGDOM Works, an employability project within the Kingdom Group, recently launched its first Community Impact Report at the Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline.
Launched as Fife Works in 2008 with the aim to bridge the gap between unemployed people in communities across Fife and employers, the project was renamed Kingdom Works in 2018.
Funded through a range of public sources, Kingdom Works has supported over 8,000 people with a range of employability services and helped more than half of those people into work.
Linda Leslie, chair of Kingdom Housing Association, introduced the event and afterwards said, “At the Kingdom Group we strive to deliver a seamless customer journey and an exceptional customer experience. To do that we take a One Kingdom approach, working across teams and departments, that allows us to achieve more for our customers; much more than we could working independently of each other.
“We take that same approach in Kingdom Works when working with our partners, many of whom attended the launch event. Working together we can amplify our impact and deliver genuinely life-changing outcomes.”
The Kingdom Works Community Impact Report for 2023/24 showcases the range of support on offer to people looking for work, from training academies and job matching to interview preparation. Featuring stories from real people, the report also outlines The Naumann Initiative, a project developed by the Kingdom Group to tackle homelessness and unemployment.
Kingdom Works manager Lynne Dunn added, “The Kingdom Works Impact Report is the first of a series of publications demonstrating the tangible impact of the wraparound services provided across the Kingdom Group. Our work has always been about more than bricks and mortar as we deliver our mission of providing more than a home. We want our customers, their wider family connections, and their communities to reach their potential and we work closely with our partners to achieve that.”
