Testimonials
"The support of project was the only reason we developed a CIC (Community Interest Company) which aided a registered charity to have a legitimate trading arm. The CIC has also aided the charity’s success and development. The support in development of a CIC has generated turnover and income all round and taken us to the point of creating contracted work positions. The ongoing support/mentoring is particularly helpful."
- ICHER
"It (the project) has given us the opportunity to focus on the training and consultation element of our work, enabling us to bid for funding from a stronger base. The CIC is a means of creating a self-sustaining service which forms the exit strategy of a project funded by the lottery."
