We are thrilled to celebrate the launch of ReGenerate’s Midlands Employer Alliance, a forward-thinking initiative aimed at fostering more inclusive hiring practices across the Midlands region. As a partner in the ongoing mission to break down employment barriers for individuals with criminal records, the Fair Chance Business Alliance recognizes the profound impact this alliance will have on local communities and businesses alike.
The Midlands Employer Alliance, spearheaded by ReGenerate, is built on the belief that second chances create stronger, more resilient economies. This bold new collaboration brings together a diverse range of employers committed to offering meaningful opportunities to individuals who have historically been excluded from the workforce due to past convictions.
At the Fair Chance Business Alliance, we are encouraged by the vision ReGenerate is driving forward. By uniting Midlands employers under a shared commitment to fair chance hiring, they are setting a powerful example of what can be achieved when businesses prioritise equity and inclusivity. We firmly believe that fair chance hiring not only transforms lives but also enhances the competitive edge of businesses by tapping into an often-overlooked pool of talent.
This initiative comes at a crucial time when labor shortages are impacting various industries, and employers are looking for innovative solutions to fill vacancies. ReGenerate’s approach offers a win-win solution: addressing workforce needs while providing a pathway for justice-impacted individuals to reenter the job market, restore their dignity, and contribute meaningfully to society.
We look forward to collaborating closely with ReGenerate and the Midlands Employer Alliance to expand the reach of fair chance hiring across the region. Together, we are creating a more just and inclusive economy, where everyone—regardless of their past—has the opportunity to succeed.
The Fair Chance Business Alliance applauds this groundbreaking step and remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote fairness, dignity, and economic empowerment for all.
