👋 Welcome! The objective of this page is to give a quick overview of Endeavour, it’s mission, work and how to use Mission Control (the home of everything).
📝 Summary
- Our Endeavour CIC, known as Endeavour, was founded in 2023 in the UK with a clear mission: sustainable positive change, together.
- The vision for Endeavour is: a worldwide democracy, a sustainable foundation to existing human systems, and rapid innovation of our issues.
- Endeavour is starting small (mostly in Greater Manchester & Lincolnshire) but intends to cautiously grow whilst learning and actively involving members of the community.
- To achieve Endeavour’s mission, we create digital or physical products and services which are bundled into Projects, Companies, Campaigns or Investments.
- Everyone is encouraged to: become a supporter (for free); report issues they hear, see and experience; suggest ideas on how to fix these issues; and contribute however else you can.
- Mission Control is the name of the website where you can access all of Endeavour’s research, work, people, supporter information, contribution ideas and audit details.
🤔 What is Endeavour?
Our Endeavour CIC is a Charitable Incorporated Company founded in 2023 in the UK.
Being a CIC means:
“CICs are limited companies which operate to provide a benefit to the community they serve. The purpose of a CIC is primarily one of community benefit rather than private profit.” - GOV.UK
Our mission, or “community benefit” statement is: sustainable positive change, together.
Whilst we operate as a CIC, the vision of Endeavour is much larger:
- A Worldwide Democracy: Everyone has an irrevocable right to be a member. Our leaders, strategies and resource allocation will be decided by members. This form of governance is known as direct democracy.
- A Sustainable Foundation: A strong ethical foundation to all our current systems: free markets, representative democracies and international unions. We can be a countermeasure to all of these, as a balance to keep each other in check.
- Rapid Innovation: A process and attitude to getting issues resolved quickly. Notice it, discuss it, work on it and resolve it, with or without Endeavour's organisational assistance.
