Business Incubator Online

Business Incubator is a free online program that mimics the face to face

Business Incubator program allowing women from all over Liverpool  LGA 
to join in and start their business.

The program, set up on teachable.com, allows students to create a login

and there they will find videos, documents, and will be able to comment and

chat on that site as well. 

Even though the program content is online, face to face meetups for registration, 

networking and pitch day still occur. This allows women to connect face to face and

still feel supported. The coordinator schedules a regular phone, email or face to face

meeting with the participants to see how they’re developing.

We hope to gain access to tablets or laptops for participants to borrow and

use for the duration of the program.

Liverpool Public School

Friends of Liverpool 

Liverpool Public School values relationships between parents and carers, staff, students,

and the local community. The school has been offering an afternoon tea called

'Friends of Liverpool' for the past 4 years. It is a time and space for parents and carers

to be able to build relationships, trust, and have conversations with staff regarding different

topics. This is a valued time for families away from their children, to be able to create new

friendships. 

Liverpool Public School has 732 students. The backgrounds of these families are mainly

refugees and low socioeconomic. At Friends of Liverpool all ethnicities and

backgrounds are welcome and everyone is treated equally with the respect, time, and

care they deserve. It is a great time of laughter and sometimes tears as parents and carers

open up and share their stories.

Life Changing Experiences 

Foundation Ltd

The Liverpool We-CARE Project

During the COVID19 crisis, and at least the 6 months following, families will struggle to

manage stricter social restrictions, children being home every day and growing unemployment.

There will be increasing levels of domestic and family violence, drug and alcohol misuse,

child abuse, increased suicide risk, depression, anxiety and self-harm during this challenging time.

This risk is exponentially higher for disadvantaged families and young people – as social isolation

will result in increased levels of hardship leaving them without support, safety, medical attention

or accurate information.

The project will ensure
- regular, supervised connection and contact with other girls in the Liverpool area who are dealing

   with similar challenges
- consistent online and telephone access to a trained Mentor or Youth Support volunteer
- trauma-informed information and education tools to build their capacity to manage the stress

   and isolation of this difficult period
- referral to appropriate agencies and local mental health specialists and provide emergency

   counselling
- a safety net to ensure these vulnerable girls are not overlooked
