Amity Community Action CIC

Who We Are

Amity Community Action CIC is a purpose-driven social enterprise based in Manchester, UK, established in 2014. As a Community Interest Company, we're committed to empowering emerging collaborative leaders to engage in meaningful community action that creates lasting impact. Our focus is on delivering transformational programmes, courses, and personalized coaching sessions that equip individuals with practical skills and the confidence to drive positive change in their communities.

We work at the intersection of professional development and social impact, believing that strong leadership and effective collaboration are essential ingredients for building thriving communities.

Our Team

Our close-knit team of fewer than ten dedicated professionals brings a wealth of experience from diverse backgrounds in community leadership, professional training, and coaching. Each team member plays a critical role, contributing their unique expertise to build a supportive and innovative work environment.

We operate as a collaborative unit where hierarchy takes a backseat to shared purpose. Together, we strive to create an atmosphere where ideas flourish and collaboration leads to tangible results. We ensure every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every effort is recognized. Our small size means you'll have direct impact on our work and genuine relationships with colleagues who share your commitment to community empowerment.

Our Values and Mission

Our core values center on integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement. We believe in leading by example, cultivating a work culture that prizes honest communication, mutual respect, and authentic relationships. Our mission is to create actionable change by providing accessible, practical development opportunities that remove barriers and open doors for emerging leaders.

By focusing on empowerment and personal growth, we encourage every team member to contribute to our collective goal of making a positive societal impact. We stand by our commitment to transparency, quality delivery, and continual learning—both for the communities we serve and within our own organization. We practice what we preach, creating the kind of supportive, developmental environment for our team that we advocate for in our programmes.

Work Environment and Culture

At Amity, we've intentionally designed a work environment that reflects our values of balance, well-being, and sustainable impact. We recognize that our team's effectiveness in empowering others depends on their own sense of fulfillment and work-life integration. Our culture celebrates flexibility, trust, and results over presenteeism, creating space for deep work, creative thinking, and personal renewal.

We're proud to have implemented progressive working practices that demonstrate our commitment to our team's holistic well-being, proving that purpose-driven work and personal balance aren't mutually exclusive.
