GiveGetGo is TLC’s flagship, award‑winning employability programme, developed in partnership with the University of Liverpool.

It brings together wellbeing and resilience-building workshops, job-search support (including the “hidden jobs market”), and 1‑to‑1 coaching, alongside support to access volunteering and work experience that helps people rebuild confidence, routine and momentum towards work.

Through the partnership, the University also guarantees an interview for people who complete the programme and meet the essential criteria for the role changing access to opportunity, not standards.

Transform Lives Company has a strong track record of delivering impactful, community-led employment programmes. During the Government’s Kickstart scheme (2020–2022), TLC was proud to be awarded Gateway status, building on our earlier success delivering large-scale initiatives such as the Future Jobs Fund, which created 8,000 jobs during the last recession. With a commitment to keeping people at the heart of everything we do, we worked closely with employers and young people to shape opportunities that were meaningful, supportive and designed to create lasting change.

Through Kickstart, TLC supported 89 employers and helped create 328 job opportunities, with 218 roles successfully filled. We worked with a diverse range of organisations—from small businesses hiring their very first employee to large regional employers—ensuring young people could access opportunities across sectors including digital, creative, community and customer service. Alongside this, we distributed over £1.2 million in grant funding, with more than 90% directly supporting wages, helping to inject over £1 million into the local economy

Our legacy goes beyond the programme itself. We launched the TLC Talent Pool to continue connecting people to opportunities, supporting progression into employment, apprenticeships and long-term careers. By staying connected to both employers and participants, we continue to act as “Opportunity Makers” bridging the gap between talent and opportunity, and ensuring the impact of our work continues to grow across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.

Launched during the Covid-19 pandemic, One You was our online wellbeing programme designed to support people at a time when health and connection mattered most. Built around the Five Ways to Wellbeing, each week focused on a different theme—improving sleep, developing healthier eating habits, switching off through digital detox, and staying active.

Funded by The National Lottery Community Foundation, the programme blended practical wellbeing support with a strong sense of community. Weekly sessions ended on a high with our much-loved ‘Friyay’ socials—bringing people together through quizzes, games and shared laughter. What began as virtual support groups grew into lasting friendships, with many participants continuing to connect and meet in person once restrictions were lifted—highlighting the lasting impact of connection, routine and shared experience.

Yoga has always been a massive part of TLC’s foundation, with our very own Lauren being a qualified instructor.

From our inception, we provided weekly classes as part of our Lifeology offer. This has progressed over the year to delivering classes online and in person for staff at the University of Liverpool, schools, GPs and outdoor classes at Speke Hall. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we delivered accessible online yoga sessions to support mental and physical wellbeing at a time of heightened stress and isolation. These sessions created a calming, inclusive space for individuals to relax, reset and reconnect with themselves. Alongside our own delivery, we also partnered with other organisations to extend the reach of these sessions, ensuring more people could benefit from gentle movement, mindfulness and improved wellbeing

Through funding from Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust’s Life Rooms, our In Work Support offer was designed to support individuals already in employment to improve their wellbeing and confidence in the workplace. We provided tailored guidance around managing workplace pressures, navigating difficult conversations, requesting pay increases, and exploring new opportunities. This offer empowered people to feel more confident, valued and in control of their working lives, supporting both personal wellbeing and professional development.

Multiply was a friendly, supportive course designed for adults who wanted to feel more confident with maths - by learning it through real-life money skills. There were practical ways to manage budgets and bills, understand energy use and make simple savings, and smart shopping tips that helped people’s money go further. The course is built around everyday life, with hands-on, useful ideas.

TLC have been actively involved in Liverpool University’s annual well- being focus month for the past 7 years. They offer a range of supportive sessions, including Chocolate Mindfulness and Chair Yoga, which help bring calm to mind and body. They also offer a Digital Detox to help participants to explore and regulate their relationship to the digital world, encouraging a healthier interaction with a range of digital communications.
