Social centres are open, broadly anti-capitalist spaces that are tied in to local struggle. They're meeting spaces for different groups and can provide an important service to activists. There are lots of different ways of doing them. Social centres can be whatever the people running them want them to be.

Some things proposed for the new Liverpool centre include:
- hands-on projects against fossil fuels, like building wind generators, biodiesel forecourts etc
- place promoting healthy foods and possibly a kitchen for teaching
- tranquillity teams and conflict resolution
- cafe space, meeting rooms, flexible spaces
- a place with sofas and a relaxed atmosphere where you can meet people you might otherwise not meet
- spaces for display of political materials
- radical library
- space for meetings

We will be meeting to discuss the social centre at 19:30 on Tuesday, 7th February at the Casa, Hope Street. If you have your own ideas about what you would like the centre to be, or would like to contribute any of your skills to setting up and running the centre, please come to this meeting. Twenty-six people came last time, so there is a lot of enthusiasm for this project! Let's keep the momentum going!
