London, UK – Relief Across Borders, a humanitarian organisation dedicated to supporting refugees and displaced families, is proud to announce its official registration as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in the United Kingdom. This milestone marks a significant step in the organisation’s commitment to providing essential aid and sustainable support to those affected by conflict and forced displacement.

Since its inception, Relief Across Borders has worked tirelessly to provide food, clothing, medication, and financial assistance to families seeking refuge in Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and the West Bank. By formalising its operations as a CIC, the organisation strengthens its ability to operate transparently, expand its donor network, and enhance the impact of its humanitarian efforts.

“Our registration as a Community Interest Company reinforces our long-term commitment to delivering aid where it is needed most,” said Rebekah, Founder and Director of Relief Across Borders. “This structure ensures that every contribution directly benefits those in crisis while allowing us to scale our efforts sustainably.”

As a CIC, Relief Across Borders will continue working closely with local partners, donors, and volunteers to maximise its reach and efficiency. The registration also enables the organisation to explore new funding opportunities, ensuring the long-term viability of its programmes and initiatives.

A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a special type of social enterprise designed to benefit the community rather than private shareholders. It operates with a clear commitment to reinvesting profits into its mission and must pass a “community interest test” to ensure that its activities serve a social purpose. Unlike charities, CICs have greater operational flexibility and can trade more freely while maintaining a legal obligation to prioritise social good over private gain.
