If you haven’t heard of us yet, we’re a new Community Benefit Society, established by three successful and experienced island-based organisations – b-side, Island Community Action (ICA) and The Portland Association.

We formed the CBS because we share a vision and desire to support Portland’s community in having a stronger voice and more influence over what happens to and on our island. 

Our key ambitions include: 

• Working collaboratively to drive and support a dynamic and innovative vision and future for Portland
• Helping to mobilise and encourage community action, ambition and aspiration
• Improving the lives, opportunities, and experiences available to Portland residents
• Showcasing and protecting Portland’s unique heritage, culture, and history, including its natural and built environments.

As a CBS, Future Portland UK is a membership-led organisation, with all members getting a say and a vote on our important decisions. Members also get to invest in projects that benefit Portland and its community, and, depending on the project, may also receive special perks, like discounts and member-only events.
