Supporting our rider community 🚲 🩵 We're back with a major new partnership with City & Guilds, providing our riders with access to fully funded, in-person and online training courses. By teaming up with a leader in vocational training we're helping our rider fleet gain practical, recognised qualifications in high-growth sectors. Our goal? To enable riders to transition from gig work to new, long-term careers such as: Electrical Installation, Traffic Management, Hairdressing and Dog Grooming. There will also be 1,000 online courses available to riders, including Workplace First Aid, Leadership & Management, and Electrical Safety. This is the latest in a line of initiatives aimed at supporting our riders’ development, including our historic partnership with the GMB, The Big Pitch - our ‘Dragon’s Den’ style competition, over 1500 Lynx educate courses and much more. We’re proud to help our riders build their futures, on and off the road.
Rounding up a jam packed Women’s History Month at Deliveroo… 🌟 Over the last month we've been celebrating the amazing women across Deliveroo through a number of activities and events. 🍼 Our Gender Equity and Parents & Carers ERGs held 'What I Wish I Knew: Live' sessions, showcasing some of our female and non-binary leaders from all across the business during two powerful discussions. 🧠 We hosted Neurodiverse Women in the Workplace panel events in our London and Manchester offices, learning about the systemic under-recognition of neurodivergence in women, and discussing how we can work towards better workplace support and policies. 🤝 We hosted an International Women’s Day Packathon with Trussell, packing 340kg of hygiene, dental, and period products for local food banks. 🩸 We held a session with Christina Lewis, founder of Herizon, exploring how understanding the menstrual cycle can support energy, decision-making, and performance at work. Thank you to all of our incredible colleagues who brought these events to life, creating a month shaped by women’s voices, experiences, and impact 🩵

Mental health at work - let’s talk about it! 🗣️ We kicked off hashtag#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth with an event hosted by our amazing Wellbeing Employee Resource Group. The day was all about wellbeing in the workplace – with talks from Siren Training, and a panel discussion with Deliveroo leaders and employees. It made for some interesting, honest and important conversations on such a huge topic. And in true Roo style, we served up one of our favourite things – food and drink! All thanks to the iconic wagamama, Sipsmith, The HEINEKEN Company, Warner’s Distillery, Double Dutch Drinks | B Corp and COMMON® | Functional Drinks
An important milestone for Deliveroo - improving profitability, positive free-cashflow, and growing.
