South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) has become the first NHS organisation to launch an Impact Report outlining its social impact against an innovative set of levelling up measures.

The Purpose Goals, launched last year by former Education Secretary Rt Hon Justine Greening, are the UK’s first levelling up framework designed to focus efforts on driving equality of opportunity at key life stages.

The report highlights a number of key strengths that put South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust at the forefront of the levelling up agenda. These include:

● Right advice and experiences - the Trust offers numerous volunteering opportunities to members of local communities, which often serve as a launchpad into paid careers.

● Open recruitment - SWFT uses blind shortlisting recruitment process and works closely with organisations such as The Veterans Alliance and Armed Forces Covenant to spread opportunity.

● Good health and wellbeing - the Trust has a wide range of programmes that proactively support good health and wellbeing in the communities it serves, including stop smoking pregnancy, infant feeding service and nutrition programmes.
