Why we started

A strong purpose does not always come with the skills or support to build a business. The Good Growth Movement brings marketing, branding and business experience together so people can find a clearer direction and learn alongside others.

Our free community is on Discord. Apply to join, tell us about your work and values, and we’ll review your application. Full membership is not open yet.

BUILT FOR THE COMMUNITY

A Community Interest Company

The Good Growth Movement is a UK Community Interest Company (CIC). Our purpose is to benefit the community: helping people build purposeful businesses and strengthen the places around them.

A CIC is a company structure designed for social enterprises. Its asset lock protects the use of assets for community benefit. For us, that means putting our work and resources behind our members and our mission, with accountability built into how we operate.

It is a commitment that shapes what we build: practical support, human connection and growth that creates value beyond profit.

The Good Growth Movement C.I.C. · Company number 17099080.
Registered office: 18 Fraser Road, London, England, E17 9DD.

LOCAL ROOTS. SHARED PURPOSE.

The movement, close to home

Good growth is part of everyday life: where we shop, who we learn from and how we look after one another. Our directories help people discover businesses, social enterprises and independent charities with practical, positive contributions to their communities.

We started in Walthamstow. Today, you can also explore our growing directories in Costa Rica, Hong Kong and Toronto. Each place has its own culture, needs and ways of doing good.

Every listing links to public sources. Inclusion is not community membership, certification or accreditation, and a fee cannot buy a higher position.
