COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT CIC

ABOUT US

Community Spotlight is a not-for-profit community interest company which builds positive communities by connecting, signposting and 'shining a spotlight' on the community groups, people and organisations based in and around Hampshire.

We give organisations a platform to connect, support & collaborate with the wider community by sharing their stories, events and projects through our social media, website and videography. We host regular events throughout the year to bring like-minded organisations together.

Community Spotlight started out as a Facebook group in 2020 called Together We Can Portsmouth. The group was set up to enable us to build an online network to support & connect local community groups during the Covid pandemic. 18 months later and the group was brimming with community kindness & support!

In 2022, we decided to take the plunge and launched Community Spotlight CIC, a not-for-profit community interest company. Our aim is to help create social change and make a positive impact by increasing awareness, connecting communities and reducing social isolation through our fun activities and marketing initiatives.
