Community Led Initiatives
Community Led Initiatives CIC was formed in 2013 by two people who had transformed their own lives and wanted to help others through the power of peer mentoring in the community.
Today CLI’s passion is to help people who want to make changes to feel part of their community and achieve their potential. Through mentoring, group activities, community building and co-production they remove barriers to community inclusion for people who are socially excluded, facing complex issues such as drug and alcohol misuse, homelessness, offending and mental ill-health.
