We're proud to look back on a milestone year for Verve Foundation - one marked by real growth, deeper impact and a stronger platform from which to drive lasting change across financial services.
Over the past 12 months, we've focused on building for the future while extending the reach of our programmes. Our new website, www.vervefoundation.co.uk, now acts as a central hub for individuals and firms to explore our work, understand our mission and get involved with a growing community backing positive change in the profession.
We've also refreshed our Adviser Incubator programmes, evolving the support we offer at every stage of the business journey - from early research into starting a firm, right through to scaling for long-term success.
At the same time, we've enhanced our New Talent programmes, widening access and strengthening development pathways to bring hundreds more people into financial services and connect them with the roles to kick-start their careers.
Internally, we've rebuilt our team and operating structure to better support our expanding ambitions. And there's more to come - we're already developing enhanced recruitment support and a new podcast sharing stories from those whose careers have been shaped by the Foundation's work.
As CEO Cathi Harrison reflects, we remain the only independent not-for-profit focused entirely on practically supporting and enhancing financial services, and the growing industry backing we're receiving makes all of it possible.
