e50K Group

e50K Group is an entirely SPSO (Spouse, Partner, and Significant Other)-led organisation that provides opportunities to all those with a lived experience of the Armed Forces community.

It’s often disheartening having your best qualities underestimated time and time again, isn’t it? Those with a lived experience of the Armed Forces community have a unique skill set, which is still hugely undervalued and overlooked by the average employer. Well, not at e50K Group! As an SPSO-led organisation we value these skills of adaptability, flexibility, humility, and creativity and we utilise them in both our business and our not-for-profit.

Founded in 2020 e50K Group works across two subsidiary companies led by the vision to reduce the discrepancies between civilian and military life – removing barriers and increasing opportunities for those within this community on both a local and national scale. Through engaging with the community, we determined the need for a two-prong approach to support, and so e50K and e50K Consultancy were born.

e50K Consultancy provides bespoke strategic development and advice to businesses seeking to develop their social-value creation and support the communities within which they work. Our clients include suppliers to the Ministries of Defence, Justice, and Transport, and profit made from this work funds e50K.

e50K Communities contributes to vibrant and resilient military estates, where residents are engaged, enabled, and empowered to deliver community-led solutions to local problems. The ambition for all our community projects is to create purpose-built schemes where our beneficiaries can form genuine relationships and interactions through shared activity.

The transient nature of our community often means training, employment, and career development are difficult, and barriers are compounded by SPSOs taking the weight of the domestic burden squarely on their shoulders. Part of e50K’s vision is to recruit, first and foremost, from this talent pool – providing bespoke roles for all.

Over the course of 2021 e50K Group developed from an on-paper business case to a collective of individuals, in a variety of roles, working to achieve real impact for the military community. Our flexible approach to accommodating the differing needs of the team includes multiple pathways for the different stages of people’s working lives.

Those working within e50K Consultancy are strategic business developers interested in desk-top and field research, analytics, and troubleshooting.

“We are problem solvers and outof-the-box thinkers. Our team comprises dreamers, realists, and ‘positive spoilers’ who innovate, design, and critically challenge those in positions of power within the public, private, and third sector to consider their social return on investment from boardroom to

grass roots.” - Dr E. Newman-Earl (Partner)

Benefiting from investment from e50K Consultancy, seed funding, and numerous trusts, grants, and donations, the e50K Communities team are project managers, coordinators and deliverers who develop and sustain meaningful relationships in the communities we serve and live and are interested in practical solutions to local concerns.

“We are operational thinkers and doers. We get out into our communities to encourage, participate, and develop activities at local level – highlighting and creating things which make a real difference to those living in our communities. Our office is our community!”

Quincey Ankrett (Director)
