Shared Future CIC Competitors

We are the people’s champion - a charity working for the whole of society whoever you are, whatever your problem.

A place for people with something to say, share, celebrate or change. RSA House is the central London home of The Royal Society of Arts, the original home of creativity for the common good and a place where people have been coming together around ideas for more than 250 years. Today, our 13 event spaces host everything from conferences, talks and product launches to awards, dinners, weddings and celebrations. From the Great Room to the Vaults, each has its own character, with contemporary production, thoughtful food and a team that knows how to bring an event together. Our hospitality is delivered in partnership with Company of Cooks, with menus built around seasonal ingredients, generous food and a belief that what’s on the table should be as considered as everything happening around it. Most importantly, holding an event here means becoming part of something bigger. Income generated through RSA House supports the charitable work of The Royal Society of Arts and its mission to enable people, places and the planet to flourish. Bring your people. Bring your ideas. Imagine what we can do.

The Young Foundation’s mission is to develop better connected and more sustainable communities across the UK. As a UKRI accredited Independent Research Organisation, social investor and community development practitioner, we combine all our skills and expertise, to further that mission. We amplify the stories and lived experiences of people in our communities; using this as a spur to drive locally-led community action and enterprise. And we use what we learn across different communities to spot national patterns of need and opportunity. Then we work with national partners to support new ideas to tackle those shared, national challenges. Bringing together our own – and other people’s – work, we are building a shared body of evidence, tools and insight about how communities are taking action on the issues that affect them. We are experts in understanding the changing role of communities in the 21st century. We have a long track record incubating over 80 new organisations including: Which? The Open University, Language Line, Social Innovation Exchange, School for Social Entrepreneurs, Uprising and Action for Happiness. We continue to offer incubation support, plus office and back office support, to early-stage, innovative organisations that share our mission.
