About National Centre for Integrative Medicine
Founded in 2014, the National Centre for Integrative Medicine (NCIM) is a community interest company that combines conventional medicine with lifestyle and holistic approaches to improve health and wellbeing. Its services include specialist wellbeing programmes, mindfulness, nutrition support, creative therapies, acupuncture, massage and other complementary treatments. By providing low-cost appointments in disadvantaged communities, NCIM helps reduce health inequalities while easing pressure on NHS services.
Our Investment
Resonance invested £100,000 through the South West SITR Fund to help NCIM expand its team, grow its range of services and increase its long-term impact. The investment supported the organisation's next stage of growth, enabling it to reach more people with affordable, holistic health and wellbeing support.
Our Impact
Since receiving investment, NCIM has increased the number of people it supports by 33%, helping more individuals improve their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. The organisation has also expanded partnerships with organisations including Heart Research UK to deliver initiatives such as the Food for a Healthy Heart programme, supporting communities to make healthier lifestyle choices while continuing to reduce health inequalities across the South West.
Dr Elizabeth Thompson, CEO of NCIM: “NCIM is delighted that Resonance has chosen to invest in our organisation […] Investment from Resonance has come at a crucial time when we are expanding and need to increase our workforce to make the most of emerging opportunities. […] We can now advertise for a range of new posts, including a Marketing Lead to help us get the word out there about what NCIM is trying to do. So, a big thank-you to Resonance and their team who has supported the process, and really seem to care about what we are trying to do.”
