**What the charity does:** The organisation's principal activity is a national umbrella organisation for those working in the field of supported employment, whether in the third, public or private sector. The company's objectives are to promote the sustainable employment of disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, through the development of effective employability support services. The SUSE staff team and Board have worked to develop a new strategy for 2025-2028, that was launched at the 2025 AGM. The charity’s vision, mission and values have been updated and new goals have been identified under 4 headings: - Enhance Member Services - More and better Supported Employment - Organisational Development - Ensure people with lived experience play a central role in SUSE. The KPIs under these headings will outline how the charity will meet the needs of our members and disabled people in a changed landscape that now has Local Employability Partnerships.
