Fortis Advisory CIC

Fortis Advisory CIC is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to providing practical support to vulnerable individuals and the organisations that assist them. We work with referral partners such as charities, housing associations, councils, and money advice agencies to improve financial stability, reduce food insecurity, and enhance access to essential services.

Our flagship program, Fortis FoodGuard, provides supermarket vouchers to individuals facing financial hardship, disabilities, addiction, or difficulties managing budgets. By working exclusively through approved referral partners, we ensure funds are used for groceries, promoting healthier spending habits and offering structured support.

In addition to Fortis FoodGuard, we provide free benefit and debt advice to churches, rural communities, and local groups, ensuring accessible guidance for those most in need. While our primary focus is outreach and direct support, we also assist community groups and smaller charities with grant applications and funded project delivery, helping them expand their reach and impact.

Fortis Advisory CIC operates with integrity, transparency, and accountability, reinvesting all profits to enhance our services and support more individuals.
