Established in 2017, and operating across London and Essex, Adventures in Compassionate Commerce (AiCC) is a social enterprise that uses innovation, collaboration and the expertise of those with real world experience to tackle some of the greatest challenges society faces today.

We forge collaborations with diverse stakeholders to co-produce and deliver community-led interventions tackling local and national issues.

Supporting individuals and voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations from underrepresented, marginalised and disadvantaged populations, we empower them to conceive, develop and take ownership of new products, services and business models.

Strategic partnerships with Local Authorities, Integrated Care Systems, charities, funders, researchers and local businesses ensure interventions are integrated into the systems they will operate in.

By applying rigorous business principles, we ensure solutions are effective, sustainable and transformative. This usually involves using design principles to develop ideas, delivering pilots and generating the evidence base to prove product / market fit. If and when appropriate, we seek appropriate funding for the intervention’s sustainable delivery, rollout or scale up.

Our work amplifies voices, drives equity, and creates lasting social impact through shared accountability and community ownership.
