Our Challenges

The IEP fosters partnerships that seek to tackle deep-seated social issues and create life chances where they are most needed. Our work is currently focused on three core challenges:

Transition to Work

We are supporting young people across the UK to make the most of their lives, regardless of their background or circumstances and are enabling them to secure and retain meaningful employment.

Mental Health

Beginning with a focus on employees, we are working with businesses to better understand the mental health challenges of their employees and to develop more robust support.

Financial Inclusion & Capability

24 million people in the UK - nearly half our adult population - are financially squeezed or struggling. We are working on solutions to develop financial resilience and improve access to affordable credit.
