Society Matters … make your mark 

It would be good to know that during our lifetime we have made an impression – but wouldn’t it be amazing if it could be made in a way that makes a tangible difference to people’s lives.

Your actions don’t necessarily need to be dramatic to be able to make your mark – your contribution could be small or irregular, it could be achieved through providing leadership to others rather than directly – but, whatever it is, it needs to be meaningful, and that’s where despite our best intentions many of us come unstuck.

So that’s where we come in. Our services for society are designed to help you to embed the knowledge and skills you need to put the right foot forward to be able to make your mark.

Our two-fold social purpose

Society Matters CIC is a social enterprise registered as a community interest company, and a trading subsidiary of independent charity Citizens Advice Gateshead, and our aspiration is to deliver social value in two ways.

First and foremost we aim to support the charity to achieve its vision of a fair society for all with lives well lived, through delivering meaningful services that add real social value. To find out more you can read the exec summary of the strategic plan here.

Secondly, any profits we make are reinvested back to support the charity’s work. This is critical to the achievement of its vision as traditional funding sources are becoming a rarer commodity.

So basically if you work with Society Matters CIC you are guaranteed in one way or another to be making your mark. We are also clear that we have an ambitious plan, and definitely can’t achieve it on our own – but we also absolutely believe that the enormity of the task ahead of us does not in any way excuse us not to try.
