IMPACT 2 INCOME - Introduction to CIC - Interactive Workshop (OLD KENT RD)

Turn your idea into a purpose-led business that helps your community and creates real income.

You’ve got a powerful idea, you've already got an existing LTD or you've got a skill and you know your community needs something different. Maybe you’ve already been doing the work for free, from the heart, but now you want to build something sustainable, structured and fundable.

This workshop will show you exactly how to set up a CIC (Community Interest Company) a business model that lets you lead with purpose, serve your people, and still get paid. If you’ve ever asked “Where do I even start?”, this is where.

Whether you’re completely new to CICs or just need help bringing your vision to life, this workshop will walk you through the process in a way that’s real, simple, and clear! No jargon, no fluff, just straight-up guidance that actually helps.

In this workshop, we’ll cover:

• What a CIC really is and why it could be the perfect fit for your idea
• How to plan your offer: who you help, what you do, and how you’ll do it
• Writing your mission and vision statements (with support)
• How to earn money through your CIC even without funding
• Finding funding and building partnerships/contracts
• The key steps, forms, and structure to register and launch
• Real-life CIC case studies the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons

You’ll leave with:

✅ A solid CIC blueprint
