This is the second of a series of open meetings about the meaning of Liverpool. The topic for this is: 'Enabling local grassroots organisations and supporting diverse culture within the cultural regeneration of Liverpool'.


All are welcome to take part in this meeting, which aims to provide a space in which to consider the regeneration of Liverpool with others. We aim to have a round table discussion and so there will be a range of speakers from the floor, we invite you all to take part.

A summary of the previous meeting is available for your information upon request.

Speakers who will be helping us to open up the discussion include Jim Bennett, local poet and educator, representatives from the Culture Company, and Dr. Martin Carey of Urban Hope.

Urban Hope is a wholly owned subsidiary company of Liverpool Hope University College with expertise in the areas of widening access, regeneration and enterprise.
