Allia amplifies impact for people, place and planet
Allia is an independent not for profit with a social mission, dedicated to helping impact organisations and initiatives to grow through flexible workspace, business support and social finance.
Allia has been at the forefront of impact since its foundation in 1999 finding innovative ways to tackle unemployment, enterprise and social housing with pioneering products. Our work has helped 1000s of people into work, out of debt and to establish enterprises driven by more than profit. But we can’t create change alone.
Our world needs effective solutions and new thinking to solve the most pressing global and local challenges. Organisations and individuals that aim to make positive change and address these challenges – impact ventures and impact entrepreneurs – can transform peoples’ lives. Allia recognises that they need the right kind of support and we are dedicated to helping them set up, grow and develop. We call it amplifying impact.
- Inspiring workspaces at our Future Business Centres – flexible and supportive innovation communities
- Business support through a range of incubator and accelerator programmes, helping businesses and individuals to innovate, start up, grow and scale
- Innovative social finance through Allia C&C - innovative investment and social finance to help charitable organisations and responsible corporates deliver greater impact
