How LEVA works

LEVA is the organisation that designs, connects and sustains pathways into the economy.

The challenge

Too many systems expect people to find their way into work without showing them the steps to find work, earn an income or build something of their own. 

As a result, people are left guessing. Not because they lack potential, but because no one has made the route clear.

Our approach

LEVA is different.

We don’t just run programmes. We build a system that connects learning to real opportunities in the economy, like jobs, income, further study or starting something.

If you fund one small project, it might help a few people.

If you fund LEVA, you’re helping build something that:

  • Reaches a lot more people
  • Keeps working over time
  • And continues delivering results over time

What LEVA does

LEVA doesn’t do once-off projects that end when funding ends.

We build the structure that allows good programmes to run properly, improve and grow. LEVA is responsible for:

Programme design and testing
Monitoring and learning systems
Quality and governance
Partnerships and scale

How this works in practice

01 You fund a programme you believe in

Most partners start by supporting a specific programme (like Tangible) because they can see it working on the ground.

02 That programme is part of something bigger

It doesn’t operate on its own. It sits inside LEVA — the organisation that connects programmes into real pathways.

03 People move from learning to earning

Participants build skills and progress into further opportunities — whether that’s work, training or income.

04 The work continues and grows

Because LEVA holds the systems behind it, the programme doesn’t stop when funding ends. It improves, scales and keeps delivering.
