The Liverpool Academy for Sustainable Enterprise offers support and training to people in Liverpool who want to set up, manage and develop a business or enterprise that benefits the community.

It is particularly interested in those who are keen to provide much-needed facilities in their own parts of the city, be it a shop, a community centre, a credit union or a nursery.

The Academy can also provide access to on-line experts and mentors.

Run well, it knows these social enterprises can empower people who often then go on to other employment, set up their own businesses or start new projects.
