CIC Set Up Workshop and Ongoing Development Support
We provide a CIC set up workshop for grassroots groups, community leaders and early stage organisations who want to understand whether a Community Interest Company is the right structure for them and what is involved in becoming one.
The workshop is delivered by experienced charity and community organisation leaders who bring real world insight rather than theory. Everything is explained in clear, accessible language, with time to apply learning to your own idea or organisation.
The session typically includes:
- What a CIC is and how it compares to other community structures
- Whether a CIC is the right fit for your mission and plans
- Defining your social purpose and community benefit clearly
- Understanding governance and leadership responsibilities
- What compliance and reporting looks like once you are established
- What information and decisions you need in place before applying
- Common mistakes and how to avoid them
