Further Information
ABOUT LEWIS PSYCHOLOGY CIC
Wolverhampton based Lewis Psychology CIC is an award winning social enterprise that provdes expert counselling, psychotherapy and coaching and services to individuals, couples and organisations in Wolverhampton and across the West Midlands and Staffordshire.
AN ETHICAL BUSINESS
Lewis Psychology CIC is an innovative, forward thinking social enterprise that uses commercial expertise to achieve maximum community impact. We are a not-for-personal-profit organisation that trades and earns money whilst providing psychological health services, health education, employment and other benefits to the community. Rather than dividing profit between share holders all of our profits are used to expand the services that we provide and generate employment for local people. We provide essential community services and create economic growth at the same time.
Teresa Lewis chose to register Lewis Psychology as a community interest company (CIC) because it met her need for a transparent, flexible model that is clearly defined and easily recognised as a not-for-profit business. The Asset Lock, a fundamental feature of CICs, ensures that the assets of Lewis Psychology CIC (including any profits or other surpluses generated by its activities) are used for the benefit of the community. Together with the company annual accounts, Lewis Psychology CIC present an annual community interest report for public record, which shows what has been done during that year to benefit the community.
