BACKGROUND:

The Initiative Factory/CASA was set-up in the aftermath of the Liverpool Dockworkers Dispute to uphold the aims and objectives of the ‘Sacked Liverpool Dockworkers’ in promoting ‘Fairness and Justice’ for all.

We were established as an Industrial and Provident Society in 1998 with the objectives of relieving poverty sickness and hardship and advancing education in Merseyside. In particular, the community work we do serves unemployed and socially excluded, both working and workless, residents of Liverpool.

The In-house provision we provide includes:

In addition to the in-house delivery, 29 Hope Street accommodates a wide range of organisations that utilise the premises for an array of activities including meetings, public events, training, conferences and functions  

We operate as a social enterprise with all the profits from our Bar/Bistro and Venue being ploughed back into the non-profit side of the organisation to deliver community self-help and voluntary projects.
