Governance & Transparency

At Starling Hub CIC, we are committed to operating with transparency, accountability and integrity in everything we do.

As a Community Interest Company, our primary purpose is to deliver positive social impact and benefit the communities we serve. Our governance structure ensures that our work remains focused on community benefit and responsible management.

Starling Hub CIC is registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in the United Kingdom.

Community Interest Companies are organisations that operate with a clear social purpose. Any surplus generated by the organisation must be reinvested to support community benefit rather than being distributed for private gain.

This structure ensures that the organisation remains focused on delivering initiatives that create positive outcomes for individuals and communities.

The directors of Starling Hub CIC are responsible for overseeing the organisation, ensuring that it operates in line with its social purpose and complies with all legal and regulatory requirements.

Directors are responsible for:

• Setting the strategic direction of the organisation
• Ensuring responsible financial management
• Maintaining transparency and accountability
• Supporting the development of programmes that benefit the community

Our leadership is committed to ensuring that the organisation operates with integrity and remains focused on delivering meaningful social impact.

As a CIC, Starling Hub CIC is required to demonstrate that its work benefits the community.

Any surplus generated through activities or funding is reinvested into developing programmes, expanding initiatives and increasing the positive impact of our work.

Our focus is always on ensuring that resources are used in ways that support community wellbeing and strengthen local communities.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of governance and accountability.

This includes:

• Complying with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements
• Maintaining clear and transparent organisational practices
• Ensuring responsible use of funding and resources
• Operating in a way that prioritises community benefit

By maintaining these principles, we aim to build trust with the communities we serve, as well as with partners, supporters and funders.

We believe that strong governance helps organisations deliver better outcomes and ensures that our work continues to create positive and lasting impact.
