We are Amity CIC

What is a Community Interest Company?

 

​We Are Amity CIC is a Community Interest Company (CIC) — a special type of company designed to use its profits and assets for the public good. That means we exist not to serve shareholders, but to serve communities, families, and the professionals who support them.
 

We are regulated by the Office of the CIC Regulator and Companies House, and our social mission is embedded in everything we do.

Our Purpose

 

We provide affordable, high-quality training and resources to frontline practitioners and community volunteers — including social workers, teachers, youth workers, healthcare professionals, and more.

​

These individuals play a vital role in helping families navigate challenges such as:

  • Parenting and relationship breakdown

  • Mental health and substance misuse

  • Economic hardship

  • Parental imprisonment

  • Discrimination and marginalisation

​​

By equipping them with tools, insight, and confidence, we’re helping build stronger, more resilient communities.

How We Make a Difference

 

Our CIC activities include:

  • Cost-effective professional development for practitioners and volunteers

  • Free and subsidised access to training for small organisations and underfunded groups

  • Specialist toolkits and learning modules to improve relational practice

  • Workshops and outreach for families in hard-to-reach communities

Who Benefits?

  • Frontline Practitioners – become more confident, curious, and skilled in supporting families.

  • Families – experience better professional or support from a volunteer, leading to improved communication, emotional wellbeing, and stability.

  • Communities – gain stronger, more connected networks of care and support.

What Do We Do With Our CIC Profits?

 

Any surplus is reinvested into our community mission. This includes:

  • Expanding training for underrepresented communities, such as LGBTQ+ families, refugee and asylum-seeking families, and those impacted by the justice system.

  • Developing new learning materials and digital resources.

  • Offering free or low-cost training to those who would otherwise go without.

  • Running community-based workshops for families.

​​

With the consent of the CIC Regulator, we may also support other organisations with similar aims.

​How We're Different from a Commercial Company

 

Unlike commercial training providers, We Are Amity CIC does not exist to maximise profits. We keep our prices accessible and tailor our content for real-world frontline delivery — not corporate settings.

​

Our focus is on impact, inclusion, and integrity.
