SettleX CIC Community Benefit & Social Impact Report Rebuilding lives through entrepreneurship and the future of work Reporting period: 2025-2026 About SettleX SettleX is a Scottish Community Interest Company established to help refugees and displaced people rebuild their economic independence through entrepreneurship, practical skills and access to the future of work. Its priority is women with children, alongside displaced professionals. The organisation's model moves people through a journey from displacement ,safety, community , skills ,work , enterprise and thriving. Its current programmes focus on practical AI, no-code, online business and financial skills, with an emphasis on creating real products and income rather than simply delivering training certificates. Previous demonstrated impact SettleX can also include a short “Impact to date” section rather than limiting the report to one programme. For example: In 2022, the organisation's earlier programme requalified 5 displaced women in nail technology through a Beauty Guild-accredited provider, funded through a £5,000 social enterprise grant in Glasgow. During 2023–2024, 10 people were employed across different capacities, receiving paid work experience and fair remuneration. Participants were subsequently connected with partner organisations and employers. Ukrainian founders received ongoing private 1:1 mentoring and access to advice, resources and networks. The organisation is now rebuilding this model around AI and no-code technology to enable people to learn remotely and generate income from anywhere. Community benefit conclusion The central community benefit created by SettleX is not simply the delivery of training. It is the creation of a pathway from displacement to economic participation. By combining practical skills, technology, mentoring, community and routes into employment or enterprise, SettleX seeks to enable people who have experienced disruption or displacement to rebuild their independence, contribute economically and ultimately create opportunities for others. This is particularly important for women with children, for whom conventional employment and education pathways may not accommodate family responsibilities, relocation or other barriers. SettleX therefore creates community benefit through skills development, employability, entrepreneurship, digital inclusion, economic independence and social connection.

Company activities and impact

SettleX CIC Community Benefit & Social Impact Report Rebuilding lives through entrepreneurship and the future of work Reporting period: 2025–2026 Community benefit delivered During the 2025–2026 reporting period, SettleX supported refugees and displaced people through practical training, mentoring and access to opportunities in the digital economy. The programme provided the following benefits to the community: 10 refugees and displaced people received access to practical training in digital skills, AI and entrepreneurship. 8 women and mothers were given priority access to free training designed to fit around family responsibilities, flexible schedules and remote work. 8 participants developed practical skills in areas including AI, no-code technology, online business, digital tools and financial literacy. 8 participants moved from training into practical application, developing products, services, business ideas, freelance offers or other work opportunities. 8 people received support to improve their access to employment, self-employment or other ways of generating an income. 8 participants received mentoring, coaching or one-to-one support to help them put their new skills into practice and work towards earning an income. 20 businesses, employers and organisations were connected with emerging digital talent, helping create opportunities for displaced professionals to participate in the wider labour market. 8 products or projects were developed using AI and no-code tools. This gave participants the opportunity to demonstrate what they could do in practice, rather than relying only on formal qualifications or previous employment history. Through these activities, SettleX helped participants build confidence, develop relevant skills and take practical steps towards employment, self-employment and greater financial independence. The programme also created connections between displaced people and businesses, helping participants become more visible to potential employers, clients and partners. The focus of the work remains on creating practical opportunities rather than training for its own sake: helping people develop skills they can use to build a livelihood, start something of their own or return to the workforce.
