01 — The Problem

Young graduates are struggling. So are their employers.

The transition from university to employment strips away the community, structure, and support systems graduates relied on. The result? Loneliness, burnout, and turnover that costs your business.

Graduate Wellbeing Crisis

Young adults are the loneliest age group in the UK. Those transitioning to work are most likely to report being often or always lonely.

Existing Support Fails

Only 15% of graduates rate employer mental health support as ‘good’. Wellbeing apps are digital, individualised, and high-effort. Employer benefits are generic and not graduate-specific.

The Cost To Employers

Poor mental health drives £21.2bn in lost productivity each year. Employees with low wellbeing show 3x lower commitment to their employer.
