Empowering-Communities was founded as a not for profit Social Enterprise in 2007 and is registered as a Communitiy Interest Company with Companies House. Our aim is to help and empower victims, local communities, vulnerable people and their families. We achieve this through a number of projects including: • The Empowering-Communities Domestic and Sexual Abuse Reduction Partnership • The Empowering-Communities Domestic Abuse Survivors Programme and support groups • The Count Me Out National Gambling Self Exclusion Scheme • The Count Me Out Alcohol Self Exclusion Scheme • SIRCS (Secure Incident Reporting & Community Engagement System) • Business Crime Reduction Partnership Administration support service As an organisation we are not funded but self sustaining. We believe that a heavy reliance on funding can leave organisations vulnerable especially in an economic down turn. Our unique and robust business model means we can provide long term help to communities and there are no limitations on the people and communities we can work with. Our sustainabliity and security is further strenghened by the fact that although as a social enterprise we compete in the market like any other business we do not exist to serve the interests of shareholders. We are not motivated by personal gain and are continually reinvesting any profits back into the organisation or as in the case of our Domestic Abuse Survivors Programme directly into the community.
