Beautiful Ideas Co. CIC Information

The Beautiful Ideas Co. CIC is a collective of local entrepreneurs and leaders in North Liverpool. Our coalition of the willing was born out of the Beautiful North, a wide-scale regeneration project that changed attitudes and perceptions of, and in, North Liverpool. And we’re community owned car park operators. We are regenerators and place-makers who believe that they key to getting things going in a place can be found in the grassroots. Since our early days in North Liverpool we’ve launched a couple of programmes to date and helped to fund new homes for real folk, maker-spaces and some makers to work in them, furniture retailers, artists and artisans, events, origami making ferry boat captains, a laundrette, a co-working space and a horror experience - to mention just a few. That investment has created both jobs and a return on the investment. We give small amounts of money where other people won’t. And so far it’s worked. In addition to funding ideas, we work tirelessly with people who have them to help develop them into economically self-sustaining projects, facilitate and support community and social innovation projects and bring ideas and collaborators together to do amazing new things.
