Are you a B Corp looking to recertify, or an aspiring B Corp ready to start your B Corp journey and grow your business’ impact?

Our Group Accelerator Programme is designed especially for ambitious, growing product businesses looking to build a better future.

We’ve partnered with Cotswold Fayre to bring you our new and updated B Corp Accelerator Programme. An interactive online programme, designed especially for growing businesses looking for expert guidance, structured support, and a clear path to certification or re-certification.

The New B Corp Standards are here

B Corp is more than just a certification, it’s a movement towards better business practices that prioritise people and the planet alongside profit. The new B Corp standards, launched in early 2026, raise the bar further on what it means to be a B Corp. There's no better time to join the ranks of purpose-driven businesses.

"The Good Crowd Accelerator really was a game changer for us—it made the journey feel so much more manageable. If B Corp is on your radar, I can’t recommend this group enough. Take the leap—it’s worth it!" – Halle Faraj, Co-founder Cameler SpiceCo.

• A structured, step-by-step approach delivered in weekly 1 hour group on-line sessions

Meet Your Programme Leader

Catherine Coward, co-founder of The Good Crowd, brings 25 years of experience in the food & drink sector and has guided over 40 businesses on their B Corp journey.

“I love helping businesses to better understand & improve their impact and certify B Corp. I know from experience that lots of small businesses want to certify but don’t always know where to start. Often finding the time amongst other priorities is hard, and overwhelm can mean progress is slow. That’s why we designed our group programme to give you the support you need to have the best possible B Corp experience. It’s full-on, but the structured sessions, hints & tips and purposeful pace ensures great progress. Being part of a small group of likeminded people is always such an inspiring learning experience for everyone ”
