Don’t just react to the Autumn Budget - Get Ahead with Kinsella HR Solutions Ltd.

The 26 November 2025 UK Autumn Budget brings big changes for HR, payroll, and workforce management. Employers face rising NI contributions (from 13.8% to 15%) and a reduced threshold (ÂŁ5,000), meaning higher payroll costs. The National Living Wage rises to ÂŁ12.21 per hour, the real living wage to ÂŁ12.71 in April 2026 and statutory sick pay and family benefits also increase.

The Employment Rights Bill expands flexible working from day one and reforms sick pay. New government funding supports skills and apprenticeships, but sector pressures and compliance demands are rising.

Now is the time to update your strategy and policies. Kinsella HR Solutions Ltd offers tailored support, policy reviews, and workforce planning.

Tonight’s the Night: Help Set Me Free for a Great Cause!

Tonight, I’m bravely stepping into a “hostage situation” with the amazing youth at our church! I have no idea what surprises await though I’ve heard rumours of bread and water being my only rations! Thankfully, I’ve managed to recruit Rachel and Praise to my rescue team, and they’re already pleading for my freedom.

But here’s the real mission: I need to raise £500 so our incredible young people can attend the Limitless Festival in August 2025. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a life-changing opportunity for them to connect, grow, and fellowship with young people from all across the UK.

I believe in these young people, and I know you do too! If you’re able, please use the link below to give generously and help set me free for a fantastic cause.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s donated so far—your support means the world to us!

Let’s make this happen together!

We are thrilled to have Lin Petry join us on International Women's Day 07 March 2025, at The Halston Hotel in Carlisle. Lin is the founder of Lin Petry Nutrition and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our event.

Lin's background in linguistics and medical anthropology from Leiden University sparked her interest in community health. Inspired by personal health challenges, she pursued an MSc in Nutrition Science and Practice at Middlesex University and established her practice in Kendal.

Over the past 7 years, Lin has developed specialist knowledge in gut health, energy levels, and hormone balance in women's health. Her approach focuses on personalized nutrition, backed by scientific evidence.

Lin's workshop, "Nutrition to Support Your Hormone Balance and Fuel Your Day," offers a valuable opportunity for attendees to learn how simple, practical food changes can significantly improve energy levels, brain power, and overall wellbeing for women of all ages. Her passion for helping people understand the impact of food choices on health aligns perfectly with our International Women's Day event.

This workshop promises to be an empowering session, providing women with the knowledge to support their hormone balance and rediscover their sparkle through improved food literacy.
