Trusted. Embedded. Transforming Lives.
For over nine years, Evolve Nottingham CIC has been deeply rooted in the heart of North Nottingham’s communities, working alongside residents to create lasting change from within.
We believe in the power of community.
When local people come together, supported by trusted relationships and genuine understanding, they can transform lives and build a fairer society.
Our Community, Our Strength
Every day, we witness the incredible resilience and potential that exists within our neighbourhoods. Whilst our communities face real challenges – from unemployment and poverty to the barriers created by stigma and isolation – we know that sustainable change happens when people are empowered to lead their own transformation.
Our Hub isn’t just a building – it’s the beating heart of our community, where the door is always open, the kettle’s on, and everyone is met with warmth and understanding.
How We Work
Trust takes time. We’ve learned that effective community work can only happen when we truly know and understand residents – their lived experiences, hopes, and the complex barriers they navigate daily.
Community-led change. We work alongside local people to create innovative solutions that connect, inspire hope, and build genuine opportunities for positive change.
Whole-person support. From welfare advice and employment pathways to wellbeing activities and community celebrations, our interconnected services wrap around individuals and families at their own pace.
Systems change. We don’t just support individuals – we challenge the processes that stifle growth and ensure communities have a genuine voice in shaping the solutions that affect their lives.
Making a Difference
Every week, our Hub welcomes hundreds of residents who access everything from trauma-informed yoga and community fitness to employment support and digital skills training. But our impact goes far beyond numbers – we’re building confidence, restoring hope, and creating pathways to opportunity that didn’t exist before.
Trusted by statutory agencies who struggle to engage meaningfully with our communities, we bridge gaps whilst supporting local groups to grow stronger and become truly sustainable.
Our Vision
A thriving North Nottingham community where people are at the heart of everything we do – where every resident feels valued, connected, and empowered to shape their own future and contribute to the collective wellbeing of their neighbours and place.
