Welcome to CIC’s Impact Review for Q4 of 2023

It's been an extraordinary quarter here at CIC. Having run our Impact Awards programme for over a year and a half, we expanded the number of awards in Q4 to provide support to four organisations with fundamental creative strategy and design. We also launched our volunteering platform, which supported an additional six organisations through our volunteers’ hours.

This quarter has also been a significant period for further developing our offerings and expanding the range of creative outputs we can provide to our partners. One of the key differences the CIC’s Impact Award delivers compared to other platforms and funding options is the actionable nature of the outputs. For many of our partner charities, while small grants or mentorship are valuable, the biggest challenge they face often lies in effectively communicating their impact – digitally and visually – since their time, energy and skillsets are devoted to the priority of delivering operationally.

We're very proud of all our partner charities, community businesses, and our members for the amazing outputs and results they have produced. We're excited to continue expanding both our Impact Awards and volunteering platform in the upcoming quarter, and eagerly anticipate spotlighting new projects in our next review.
