Our status
What being a CIC means
Asset lock
As a community interest company, Revive is bound by a statutory asset lock. Our assets and any surplus can only be used for the community we serve, and cannot be distributed to members or directors.
Regulated
We are a community interest company limited by guarantee, regulated by the Office of the Regulator of Community Interest Companies.
Not a registered charity
Revive Community Centre CIC is not a registered charity, so we cannot claim Gift Aid on donations. Every donation goes to our community work, protected by our asset lock.
