Centre for Social Impact

I am in the process of setting up an organisation called the Centres for Craft, Creativity and Culture. We are still working on our mission statement and organisational structure.

Our mission is to make reuse the norm, not the exception, by delivering integrated reusable packaging systems that remove operational friction for venues, festivals, workplaces, and high-density environments. Cercle's core activities are designed to achieve both environmental and social outcomes. Environmentally, we reduce reliance on disposable products, minimise waste sent to landfill, and support lower-impact resource consumption through reuse infrastructure and data-driven circular systems. Socially, we create meaningful employment pathways for individuals who frequently face barriers to employment, including people with experiences of incarceration, domestic violence, and long-term disadvantage. Through partnerships with community organisations and social procurement initiatives, Cercle seeks to demonstrate that circular economy systems can simultaneously generate measurable environmental benefits and inclusive economic participation.
