We build the capacity of communities — and those who support them — to create the capital foundation they need to thrive.

Why it matters

When communities have the knowledge, tools, and confidence to work with capital and their economies, they can:

  • Respond to urgent local challenges

  • Launch and grow community-led projects and enterprises

  • Create new sources of income and ownership

  • Build fairer, stronger, more resilient local economies

  • Shape their own futures, on their own terms.

Who we work with

We work with people and organisations based in place, supporting places, or shaping systems from a strategic level. This commonly includes:

  • Community organisations and local organisations

  • Local councils, regional authorities and organisations

  • Place-based collaboratives, alliances and intermediaries

  • Social impact organisations

  • Government agencies

If you're trying to achieve better outcomes for local people and places, we’re here to help.

What our community is saying

“We’ve been looking for ways to create lasting impact, and the place based capital approach provides exactly that — sustainable, community-owned solutions.”

“They helped us move from ideas to action — now we own assets together that will benefit generations.”

“Working with CCC opened our eyes to how the big capital system really works — and how we can influence it. We’ve gone from reacting to decisions made elsewhere to co-creating solutions that work for us.”

“What CCC does is connect the dots — between policy, capital, and community voice — so local people can lead, invest, and benefit from the big shifts shaping our economy”

“The learning series gave me the language and confidence to talk about capital in our community — and to take action.”

“I came away with practical tools, but more importantly, I felt part of a bigger movement.”
