e50K C.I.C (referring to the c.50,000 Defence families living in Ministry of Defence Service Family Accommodation) is a predominantly female-led Community Interest Company, founded by Dr. Elizabeth Newman-Earl, an expert on the impacts of militarisation on AF Spouses and a Brigadier (Retired). We aim to empower Defence spouses and Veteran spouses who have been negatively impacted by Defence living to create sustainable, community-led projects, thus increasing their agency and power.

We are a group of two companies, e50K Strategic Advisory and e50K Communities. e50K Communities develops community programmes around the Defence Estate, co-designed and co-created by the Defence community. e50K Strategic Advisory (SA) is the income-generating arm of the business, working with companies, from primes to SMEs, on government procurement.

e50K Strategic Advisory supports businesses to deliver impact that goes beyond Social Value. Working with organisations across multiple sectors, we co-create and co-deliver initiatives which support your business values while generating measurable data.

We co-design and co-deliver initiatives, pushing you to consider how you can do more to create value with new strategic ideas.

Whether it’s time to look at your impact due to procurement, government legislation, or the pull to make a positive change, social value is an ever-growing part of business delivery.  But not all social value is created equal.  Our in-depth understanding of how organisations can deliver long-lasting impact means we support you with social, economic, and environmental strategic advice.

Whether you need us to help you start your journey, enhance your existing initiatives, or design something new, we tailor Value Creation packages for large enterprises, SMEs and growing start-ups. We can help you with one portion of your Value Creation, or at every step from ideation and bid writing right through to delivery and reporting. Our services are based on the deep expertise and experience within our team.

Services include

• Value Creating Assessment. We conduct a thorough analysis of your current practices, identifying areas where Value Creation can be incorporated effectively and profitably.
• Strategy Design. Our team will work closely with your business to create a customised strategy aligned with your core objectives.
• Training & Capacity Building. We provide training programs and workshops to enhance your team’s understanding of Social Value and equip them with the necessary skills to embed it within your organisation’s operations

Together, we identify the topics, narratives, and considerations that matter to you as an organisation. And define what Value Creation means for you.

We will support or deliver a gap analysis and review actions you’ve already taken, then measure your initiatives against our Impact Wheel.

We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, and our reviews speak for themselves “The team were able to innovate on their feet at an impressive rate with some real ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking. My team and I were inordinately impressed with the resulting report, recommendations and supporting data – far exceeding all expectations.” “… [they] masterfully blended the commercial and technical with the overriding vision that our infrastructure is a public good and a platform for innovation”

e50K Strategic Advisory not only supports its community by employing directly from the Defence community, but it also channels profits back into e50K Communities to create community projects.
