The CIPD Trust 

We harness the power of the people profession to tackle barriers to work and create inclusive workplaces. We’re here to connect people professionals, leaders, organisations and partners to make a difference for those facing the biggest barriers to good, fair, inclusive work.

When you put people first, everyone stands to gain

A new CIPD Trust bursary fund, in partnership with Human Resource Professionals Charitable Trust (HRPCT), will help charities upskill and strengthen their people practices. 

Join us in Manchester for our Annual Conference and Exhibition 5–6 November 2025 – in person or online, to advance your expertise and influence in the people profession.

Our impact

Krystyna – Rebuilding Futures mentee

I can already say that thanks to this programme and my mentor, I feel significantly more confident navigating the job market, in the process of searching for vacancies, and in applying for roles. My mentor and I worked together to completely revamp my CV, into a CV that really stands out and makes me a competitive candidate which is something I struggled with before.

Joining the programme has nurtured my success where it was much harder to see progress when I first came to the country. The regular sessions have been invaluable in helping me understand workplace cultures. My mentor has also been a great source of motivation, ensuring I stay positive throughout the process. we’ve already planned a mock interview to ensure I’m fully prepared when the opportunity comes. I truly appreciate and am deeply grateful for this support.
