Creating Social Value Through Inclusive, Impactful Learning

At Me Learning, social value isn’t an add-on — it’s a commitment. From supporting public sector outcomes to delivering inclusive, accessible training, we help organisations meet their goals while driving real-world impact. Here’s how we do it.

Social Value at Me Learning

Me Learning is a business which really cares, about our clients, our staff and our supply chain partners.

We are passionate about making a difference in the communities where we work and we put extra effort into helping our clients achieve their own social value goals.

To do this we believe in creating a positive culture for our people. One where they have plenty of opportunities to develop and progress within our organisation. We encourage all to make a positive contribution and above all to be themselves at work.

Deliver Social Value

What we do

When organisations transition from traditional face-to-face training to our digital and virtual learning solutions, they not only benefit from increased flexibility and efficiency — they also make measurable progress toward their sustainability goals. By significantly reducing the need for travel, accommodation, printed materials, and on-site facilities, our online training helps clients lower their carbon footprint. These reductions can be tracked and reported as part of their corporate carbon reporting or net-zero strategies, providing clear evidence of environmental responsibility and contributing to broader climate action commitments.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact, which is why we choose to host our cloud-based solution using Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS operates its data centres with a strong focus on sustainability, including the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. By leveraging AWS’s global infrastructure, we ensure that our digital learning platform not only delivers high performance and reliability but also aligns with our values around carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

We understand that supporting local economies is often a key priority for many of our clients — particularly those in the public and third sectors. At Me Learning, we’re proud to play our part by sharing our experience and offering practical support to small businesses and start-ups within our clients’ communities.

As an established SME with over 18 years of experience, we know the challenges that new businesses face when navigating growth, digitalisation, and service delivery. That’s why we regularly offer advisory sessions, information events, and informal mentoring for local small businesses — helping to build confidence, share lessons learned, and pass on the insights we’ve gained from working across sectors like healthcare, education, local government, and the charity space.

To support the Brighton and Hove community, our web developers built a website for a charity working with young people with learning difficulties.

This helps the charity better promote the work they do with young people with Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Dyslexia and ADHD, providing outdoor education and therapeutic support using eco-therapy and outdoor education to complement the school curriculum. This approach has also enabled the Moulsecoomb Forest Garden to gain support from a wider audience and has increased the donations they receive to support their work.

Through our contract with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), we have in place a ‘Social Value’ agreement. We provided access to free training across the GMCA, on a range of topics which are important to personal development.

The local authorities involved have discretion to distribute free access to this training to help address issues relevant to the local area. For example, Rochdale Council has used this to provide free access to training for unemployed people in their area, so they can build new skills and prepare for employment. So far, 2000 people across the GMCA have enrolled on the free courses in this way.

At Me Learning, we believe that social impact should extend beyond service delivery — it should be embedded in how we operate and who we support. That’s why we work extensively with the charitable and not-for-profit sector, often going above and beyond what is required in our contractual arrangements to deliver genuine added value.

A powerful example of this is our partnership with the ManKind Initiative, a leading charity supporting male victims of domestic abuse. Together, we developed a digital training programme aimed at raising awareness and improving frontline responses to this often-overlooked issue. But our support didn’t stop at content development — we also provided free hosting on our Learning Management System (LMS), assisted with campaign promotion and outreach, and committed to a 50/50 revenue share on all sales of the training.

This approach reflects our commitment to creating sustainable partnerships where success is measured not just in metrics, but in meaningful social outcomes.
