Our Annual Report provides an overview of our activities from January to December 2024.
2024 was a year of significant growth, reflecting the mounting interest from independent providers of higher education in being part of the IHE community. We grew our membership by 17% and expanded our policy-driven training and events programme by 40%. We also grew our community of partners and supporters, nurturing these crucial relationships, and maximising the benefits these connections bring to our membership.
A key area of focus in 2024 was to deliver the objectives of our new communications strategy: raising our profile, expanding our network of external stakeholders, and communicating our impact. This strategic approach has paid dividends, enabling us to be proactive, bold in our thinking, and influential when reacting to sector developments.
As well as benefitting from national representation, our Members also supported one another by sharing experiences, knowledge, advice, and practice. Our Networks and Forums provided opportunities to exchange insights, address challenges, and offer mutual support across roles and specialisms.
During the second half of the year, we developed a new member recruitment strategy. We are excited at the prospect of growing the IHE community further and the opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange that this will bring.
We extend thanks to our Members, whose engagement and expertise continue to strengthen our community and amplify our collective voice. This report offers a snapshot of what we accomplished together and sets the foundation for even greater impact in the year ahead. We also thank all those we collaborated with across the sector in 2024 – our collective efforts helped drive positive change during a transformative year for higher education.
