Benefits of grow CIC

More and more importance is being placed on businesses to create and deliver positive social impact on the world around them. Employees, customers, contractors and funders all want to see businesses doing good work and aren’t afraid to go elsewhere if those demands aren’t being met.

And businesses want to do all the right things but with all the CSR and UN SDG’s and other acronyms out there, it can be difficult to know where to start. This is where grow cic comes in.

Choosing to join the grow family isn’t just about the feel good factor of giving back to your community. While that feeling can’t be diminished, grow is about more than that. It’s about creating tangible impact on the world around us, delivering value that is aligned with the needs of the Knowsley community and improving everyday life for people. All while being independently verified and accredited.

From building your team, to creating business opportunities and even showcasing your positive impacts, the grow family will help you with it all. Just check out the benefits below.

Our flagship - Bowring Park & Golf Course

In 2022, we signed a first-of-it’s-kind social value lease to take over Bowring Park & Golf Course. This groundbreaking deal with Knowsley Council allows us to run the park in the best interest of the local community while being able to re-invest everything, giving the people of the UK’s 2nd most deprived borough a beautiful and safe space.
