History

Our parent organisation Allia Ltd is a charity that has been at the forefront of impact innovation since 1999. In this time, we have been supporting those that aim to make positive change and address the most pressing global and local challenges across the UK. We’ve helped hundreds of ventures, charities, community initiatives and social enterprises create more positive impact.

The Allia way

Our expertise in running business centres to fund the provision of free support programmes means we can bring our model to other cities, to help boost social & economic growth in your community.

Funding

Over the years, we’ve been awarded funding from the European Regional Development Fund that has enabled us to support hundreds of local businesses across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough through a range of free advice, mentoring and support programmes. 

Work with us

We’re a friendly bunch who work hard, have fun, and enjoy working for an ethical not-for-profit focused on positive impact. With centres in Cambridge and Peterborough, and a busy team of business advisors in East London, the occasional vacancy does come up – so check out opportunities here.
