transforming
people & communities

We deliver innovative projects that support people and our communities to flourish and prosper

Our impact is far-reaching

Healthier community members

We support community members to improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing, leading to a happier, more active community.

A better skilled workforce

We support community members to develop skills that lead to enhanced and more diverse employment prospects.

Better engaged communities

Our support empowers people to take ownership of their individual journeys, taking pride in their actions and resulting in better engaged community members.

Improved physical spaces

We use sustainable development principles to regenerate empty properties, reducing the effects of anti-social behaviour, crime and vandalism and the detrimental impact this has on our local communities.

More resilient communities

We develop attitudes, behaviours, and skills that result in improved confidence, motivation, and resilience, supporting people to make positive life decisions, changes, and improvements.

Our impact

what people say

“The Community Impact Initiative is a great example of how lifelong learning can turn lives around. The Cii benefits local communities by turning empty, run down properties into homes and give individuals new skills, which they can carry with them throughout their life.”
Julie James MSMinister for Housing and Local Government
“I love the social aspect of the project; working with others and getting to know them has really helped improved my confidence.”
Project participant
“Participating in the project has done wonders for my health and wellbeing. I wake up every day feeling better than the last because of the enjoyment I get from the project.”
Project participant
“I love the project and have gained so much from it, thank you so much for running it in my community.”
Project participant
"The way the Cii provides a complete and replicable model of regeneration should be championed across the UK. By returning empty homes back into use, not only does this positively affect the surrounding communities and end users, but added to this, the journey to assist those who you bring on board is to be applauded.”
