At CIC, we have a 24-year heritage of delivering excellent care and support in the community, and we are lucky to have many of the people who were part of our charity’s earliest days still working for us today.

Gordon House manager Sara added, “Time flies and it really doesn’t feel like I have been here for 20 years, but it has been an incredibly rewarding two decades. There is nothing more fulfilling than improving a person’s quality of life and I have been able to do so by working for CIC.”
With well over 64,000 days of work for our charity between them, our 1991 recruits truly deserve our thanks.
