F.A.Q

What is a community interest company?

A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a type of company that is established to benefit the community rather than to generate profits for shareholders. CICs are not-for-profit organizations, and any profits that they do make are reinvested back into the company and the community. This means that the primary focus of a CIC is on social or environmental objectives rather than financial gain.

Are you regulated?

CICs are regulated by the Regulator of Community Interest Companies, which is responsible for ensuring that CICs comply with the relevant legislation and regulations. This regulatory body ensures that CICs operate in a transparent and accountable manner, and that they fulfil their social and community objectives.

Is it possible to advertise with you?

Yes, you can advertise with our CIC. We offer advertising opportunities on our website, with prices starting from only £5.00 per month. Whether you are a local business or a national organisation, advertising with us can help you reach our community focused audience and support our mission at the same time. More information about our advertising options will be available soon, so stay tuned!

Are staff DBS checked?

Staff members who are involved in roles that require direct contact with children or vulnerable adults may be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. The specific positions that require a DBS check will depend on the nature of the role, such as teaching children. The checks help us ensure that our staff members are suitable and trustworthy to work with these groups. They are also on the DBS Update Service, which enable them to keep their certificate up to date.

What will be your first pantomime?

We are excited to announce that will be staging our first-ever pantomime – Jack and the Beanstalk within the next few months.

We are currently in the process of organising auditions for our post 16 group, and in approximately two months, auditions for ages 5-17 will take place. This is a fantastic opportunity for aspiring actors and actresses to showcase their skills and be a part of an unforgettable production.
