#AskRishi like many #SocEnts & charities we share space to keep overheads lean. no rates bill = no £10k. As face-to-face work has stopped, so has our income. #SocEnts need support cos society needs them to survive. Make the £10k available to legitimate biz without rates bills

[Urban Workbench @WorkbenchLPL]

@karlwilding @CommonsDCMS Thank you @karlwilding and @commonsDCMS for having this vital conversation and all recognising that #SocEnt and the whole sector is made up of organisations of different scales who all need help to be able to support our communities in the future

[Urban Workbench @WorkbenchLPL]

@amcewen @DoESLiverpool Awesome! I think we all need to do step 2 more, our city is awash with wonderfully talented creative makers & doers. We all need to get out of the shadows!! 📍🌍♻️🔨
