About us

CS-GB CIC is a UK based community interest company focused on creating practical routes into work, civic participation and long term contribution.

We exist to turn social purpose into delivery. Our work brings together employment, justice, education and community engagement, with a clear focus on outcomes rather than activity for its own sake.

Our programmes are designed for people who want to participate, contribute and progress, and for partners who want social value that is credible, measurable and sustained.
