Sellafield Ltd, operator of the UK’s largest nuclear facility, is working alongside partners, including the public sector, to help improve education outcomes as part of its social impact strategy.

The recently launched WELL programme is a collaboration between the nuclear industry and Cumbria County Council, and Lord Jim O’Neill, vice-chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership and founding trustee of SHINE highlights how this unique kind of approach is Educating the North.

Former Sellafield employee, now the leader of Warrington Borough Council, writes about the positive changes to the West Cumbrian site and the outreach of the company within the local community in the last twenty years.

Sellafield Ltd’s Corporate Affairs manager Jamie Reed reflects on 18 years of successful dialogue between UK Government officials & representatives of the nuclear industry with Norwegian NGOs and nuclear regulator, local government and communities.

‘Investment in potential talent, training and recruitment can reap immense benefits for business and communities’, was a key theme at the Sellafield Ltd sponsored New Statesman Northern Powerhouse Conference in Leeds.

Sellafield Ltd's Jamie Reed writes about two projects in Cumbria that the company has invested in: £10m to get the newly-opened Campus Whitehaven education complex started and also funding fifty community apprenticeships for small companies throughout Cumbria.

Head of Corporate Affairs at Sellafield Ltd marks #CumbriaDay ahead of a parliamentary event on 23rd January and points out that the site employs 11,000 people and contributes hundreds of millions of pounds to the Cumbrian economy.

Transformation Director Angela Seeney writes that in 2018 "the Sellafield nuclear site has had one of the most significant years of change in its 60 year history".

Following the recently published Public Accounts Committee report into risk reduction at Sellafield, Jamie Reed reflects on the past twelve months of progress at the West Cumbrian site - one of the biggest environmental remediation challenges in Europe.

 "Women are still a minority on the Sellafield management team, but I hope to make positive moves to encourage diversity", says Rebecca Weston, Technical and Strategy Director.
