About us

We empower people through employment, health and education, enabling them to thrive in their communities

About us

Everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, regardless of their starting point. We support people across the UK into employment, education, and improved wellbeing, through programmes and services that empower, backed by a community-based approach.

We work with individuals, employers, commissioners, and partners to design and deliver services and interventions that enable people to move forward with confidence, building skills, improving health, and achieving real, lasting progress and fulfilment in their work and lives.

Our people

Our team brings not just expertise, but empathy. Many of our staff draw on their lived experience of the same challenges our participants face, which means the support they offer is real, respectful, and rooted in understanding.

Our people live and work in the communities they serve, supported by the strength, resources, and reach of a trusted national organisation. It’s this combination of local insight and national impact that makes our work personal and powerful.

Our approach

By unlocking potential in individuals, we strengthen families, workplaces, and entire communities – for today and the future. We are a people-first and purpose-led.

Our support is:

Personalised: No one-size-fits-all. Every journey starts with listening.
Community-focused: We work with local services, not just in local areas.
Collaborative: We design programmes with employers, charities, and local authorities.
Proven: We empower over 20,000 people each year across the UK to take meaningful steps forward.

Our model

A global network with local roots. AKG was founded more than 30 years ago by Duncan Angus, a ‘boy from the bush’ who experienced his own challenges in finding meaningful training and employment.

Duncan co-founded AKG, with the belief that compassion, experience and skill development empowers people to make their lives and communities better.

Today, all of us at AKG remain true to its purpose: to empower people through employment, health, and education, enabling people to thrive in their communities.

We achieve this through our extensive global network, our consultant’s skills and lived experience, and commitment to our purpose.

Global network

Our extensive global network spans 300 locations over six countries, equipping us with hundreds of highly skilled experts, specialist knowledge and valuable contacts within thousands of communities.

Lived experience

Our services are designed and delivered by people with lived experience of the issues and challenges our clients face and insights from the customers we support. Our highly trained consultants support our customers with empathy, providing them with hope and understanding as well as practical skills.

True to our beliefs

We’re passionate about empowering people and helping them transform their lives. This purpose is what keeps us working, innovating, and growing to extend our support.

Proven impact

In 30 years, we’ve helped more than 1,000,000 people discover their skills and ability to write a brighter future. We continue to develop new programmes and opportunities that enable customers to make positive life changes and better communities.
