About us: History & Objectives

Arcubus is a new charitable company whose objectives are: ‘(a) The relief of poverty through supporting Microfinance initiatives in Africa; and (b) The advancement of the education of the public on ethical issues in relation to the developing world and elsewhere.’

Arcubus was established in 2009 by JustShare, a charity based at St Mary-le-Bow Church in the City of London. JustShare (www.justshare.org.uk) aims to raise awareness of international development needs and opportunities, and to encourage positive action in response. Arcubus was born as a practical means of keeping the developing world in the eye of the City. Uniquely, it offers an effective way for City workers and companies to take action to support some of the world's poorest communities, whilst also building their own future markets. Arcubus is delighted to have received generous support from the Corporation of London and Allen & Overy LLP.

Arcubus retains its links with its Anglican foundation and although it has no religious orientation or objectives, it is working in partnership with the Diocese of London as well as the Corporation of London. It is particularly keen to work in Mozambique to support the Bishop of London's London Challenge and the Diocesan Link, ALMA
