What if supporting someone’s career journey could also strengthen your team? 💜

For @MargaretRus, HR Manager at @HiltonYork , partnering with Springboard has shown just how powerful that can be.

“Sometimes, giving someone a chance can result in gaining some of your most dedicated and loyal team members. At the same time, you have the opportunity to help change someone’s life for the better. The benefits are mutual and far-reaching.”

After more than three years of partnership, Margaret has seen the impact of Springboard’s employability programmes - helping people build confidence and skills while connecting employers with motivated, work-ready candidates.

A huge thank you to Margaret and the team at Hilton York for supporting people into hospitality careers. 🤝

📍 Arena the hospitality networking association visits Liverpool.

For the first time, @Arenanetworking 's Behind the Scenes event took place outside of London- and what a fantastic time we had!

Members and guests enjoyed an afternoon of networking and socialising with hospitality professionals, listening to inspiring speakers and a tour of Everton's @EvertonStadium . A few of us also went out in the evening to explore Liverpool.

Thanks to the generosity of the attendees, £1.4k was raised for Springboard!

A huge thank you to Lorraine Wood and the team at Arena for organising such a brilliant event. We’re incredibly grateful for your support in helping us change lives through hospitality.

@EileenHMurphy @Channel4News @annie_shepperd Thank you, Eileen! We really appreciate your support. We’re proud to be continuing this work and creating more opportunities through hospitality. 💜

Listening to @Channel4News about
@Springboard_UK work Bloody marvellous! I remember a Director of Children & Families @annie_shepperd having ideas like this 30 years ago. Gov should have listened then - I hope they listen now.

🍽️ A thriving hospitality industry means more opportunities for people to build careers, but rising costs are putting increasing pressure on our hotels, pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and nightclubs.

At Springboard, we work every day to help people build skills, gain confidence and access opportunities in hospitality - supporting the industry with the talent it needs for the future.

That’s why we’re supporting @UKHofficial #VATsTheProblem campaign and the call for a fairer 10% VAT rate for hospitality.

A stronger, more sustainable hospitality sector means more jobs and more opportunities for the people we support.
