Background
Make, a Community Interest Company (CIC) set up in 2012, unites and enriches communities through creativity, art and culture. Its makerspaces in Liverpool, Huyton and now Birkenhead, create places for makers and artisans to turn their passions into prosperity.
Investment
The £175,000 investment is set to ‘Make’ a meaningful difference to Make CIC and its budding artisans and entrepreneurs.
The funding will in turn make a difference to Make’s residents, creating opportunities to support their livelihoods. That’s residents like Agnieszka Holubik, owner of Once Upon a Plant, sweet entrepreneur, Paul Doyle, who runs The Tuck Shop UK, and Cath Garvey, animator and illustrator at Cath Garvey Illustration, who all currently work out of Make’s Huyton Village location.
This investment from Livv will help to support Make CIC with our work across the Liverpool City Region. Social lending, like Livv and Flourish, is a critical part of making impact work happen in communities.
“Traditional finance options are often not available to organisations like Make CIC, despite the significant societal impact they generate. So, thank you to all those in Livv who have put together this fund to ensure that Make, and organisations like ours, can continue to grow the impact our communities desperately deserve.
