our purpose
Why We Exist
Too many people in our community face barriers that hold them back. These include money worries, isolation, low confidence, health challenges, or missing out on education and skills. Help often exists, but people don’t always know where to find it or don’t feel it’s meant for them.
Give A Little Back CIC exists to be that open door. We bring practical support, learning and wellbeing activities into welcoming local spaces, so people can build confidence, gain skills and move forward on their own terms.
Who we support:
- Children and young people
- Women and girls
- Parents, carers and families
- Adults looking to learn, reconnect or return to work
OUR STORY AND OUR NAME
Where the name comes from
The name "Give A Little Back grew" from the community work inspired by Tuition Time Hub’s Impact Pledge. Give a Little Back" began as the Impact Pledge of Tuition Time Hub, a commitment the local tuition centre has made since it began, to give part of its profits to community and global causes.
During the pandemic that local outreach grew, and the local council encouraged us to set up a dedicated organisation for community work. Give A Little Back CIC was incorporated on 5 July 2023.
Today the CIC is a separate legal organisation with its own identity, directors, finances and funding. It runs its own local programmes, funded through grants and partnerships. The CIC now manages its own grants, partnerships and restricted programme funding. The CIC does not fund Tuition Time Hub’s Impact Pledge, and CIC funding is never used for Tuition Time Hub’s commercial services. The two share a name and a history, but not their money.
practical community lifecycle
From a local idea to a
useful programme
Every initiative begins with honest listening. Here is how grassroots feedback in Huddersfield transforms into structured, accountable, and lasting community support.
Listen
We start by listening to local people, families and partners to understand what support is really needed, and what gets in the way.
Design
We shape welcoming, practical programmes around those needs, working with participants, volunteers and local partners.
Resource
We secure grants, partnerships, safe venues and the right equipment, using every pound for the purpose it was given.
Deliver
We run sessions locally in safe, friendly spaces, led by trained staff and volunteers who have completed safeguarding checks.
Learn
We gather feedback, track outcomes and use what we learn to improve each programme and plan what comes next.
What We DO
Practical opportunity at every stage of life
Our work covers six areas, shaped around what our community tells us it needs. Together they help people build confidence, gain skills and move forward.
Programme Status Note:
Programme availability depends on funding, venue capacity and volunteer support, so not every area runs at the same time.
Children & Young People
Holiday clubs, wellbeing sessions and youth activities that give local children and teenagers safe, positive spaces to grow.
Health & Wellbeing
Mental health and emotional wellbeing support, physical activity and healthy living sessions that help people feel well and connected.
Digital & AI Skills
Demystifying essential technology, digital safety basics, and everyday online services through patient, one-to-one local guidance.
Work & Opportunity
CV and interview support, careers information and volunteering to help people move towards training and employment.
Families & Carers
Practical support, peer networks and family sessions that help parents and carers feel supported and less alone.
Learning & Life Skills
Education support, adult learning and practical skills like budgeting and healthy cooking that build everyday independence.
our local origins
Born in Huddersfield.
Built for community.
What started as an urgent local response to lockdown learning disruption has evolved into a permanent, asset-locked Community Interest Company dedicated to educational equity across Kirklees.
The Hub’s Impact Pledge.
From its very first year, Huddersfield tuition centre Tuition Time Hub committed 20% of its profits to community projects and global causes, and named this promise the Give a Little Back Impact Pledge.
Local outreach grows
When lockdown closed the centre, the Impact Pledge funded free meals for local families entitled to free school meals, food packs for struggling families, and food for NHS workers. The response showed how much more local support was needed.
Give A Little Back CIC is formed
Encouraged by the local council, we set up a dedicated community organisation. Give A Little Back CIC was incorporated on 5 July 2023 as an asset-locked Community Interest Company, with a board of three directors from October 2023.
Wellbeing support for women and children
The CIC began running its own local classes, including women's counselling classes and children's wellbeing classes.
Holiday clubs with Kirklees Council
Kirklees Council grants have funded our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) clubs, giving local children nutritious meals and enriching activities during the school holidays.
New funding and partnerships
We joined the Kirklees Digital Inclusion Network and Good Things Foundation's National Digital Inclusion Network, preparing new digital skills programmes for local adults.
One shared history, two clear roles
The CIC now runs its own local programmes with its own directors, finances and funding. Tuition Time Hub's Impact Pledge continues separately as the centre's own giving and does not fund the CIC.

Give A Little Back CIC
learn more about us
Find clear, direct answers regarding our legal structure, asset lock, community focus in Huddersfield, and how our programmes operate.
What is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and how does it operate?
A CIC is a type of company set up to benefit the community rather than private owners. It has an “asset lock”, which means its assets and surplus must be used for community purposes.
What is an asset lock and how are CIC funds protected?
An asset lock is a binding statutory provision that ensures all assets, retained surpluses, and grant funding held by Give A Little Back CIC can never be transferred out for private gain. The CIC’s assets and surplus are protected by an asset lock and must be used for its community purposes
Is Give A Little Back CIC part of Tuition Time Hub?
No. They are separate organisations. The CIC grew out of Tuition Time Hub’s Impact Pledge, which is why they initially shared the same name. Today the CIC has its own identity, directors, accounts and funding, and runs its own local programmes.
Who is eligible to participate in CIC-funded community programmes?
Our programmes support children, young people, women and girls, families and adults across Kirklees. Each programme lists its own eligibility. Kirklees and Huddersfield seeking accessible supplemental education, skill-building sessions, and community workshops. Specific eligibility criteria vary by seasonal programme and are clearly outlined on each registration pathway.
Does the CIC pay for Tuition Time Hub’s 20% pledge?
No. The Impact Pledge is what led to the CIC being set up, but the two are now separate. The CIC works independently, and all of its funding is used for its own community programmes. The Hubs 20% pledge is paid entirely by Tuition Time Hub from its own profits.
