Social Impact NE CIC is about empowering local communities. Join us in building a brighter future for County Durham and beyond. Our passion is all about building communities that empower, charities that inspire, and a future that grows brighter across the region and beyond. Connecting businesses and supporters with those in need. Our vision is to change the narrative across the region from deprivation to prosperity. Social Impact NE CIC, is a community-led initiative determined to repaint the colours of our communities. County Durham, nestled in the heart of Northeast England, consistently paints a picture of deprivation across various social and economic indicators. But what if we could rewrite that narrative? What if we could turn those shades of red into vibrant greens, symbolising prosperity and social well-being? INTRODUCING SOCIAL IMPACT NE CIC The North East of England, our beloved home, holds a special place in our hearts. But let’s be honest, a harsh reality paints a different picture which can be seen so clearly in ONS heatmaps. We’re not just talking about numbers and statistics; we’re talking about real people, families, and communities. We believe that everyone deserves a fair chance to thrive, and we’re dedicated to creating the conditions that make that possible. Our Mission: Social Impact NE CIC is about empowering local communities. We aim to work with residents, businesses, and organisations to tackle the root causes of deprivation and build a more sustainable future. Our focus areas include: • Skills development. • Entrepreneurship and business support. • Community development and social cohesion. • Advocacy and policy change. #WherePassionMeetsPurpose
