About Kindred
Kindred LCR exists to unlock the social and economic potential of communities across Liverpool City Region by providing social investment, support and access to property. We support social businesses and community groups (we call them 'socially-trading organisations' - or STOs) with money, support and collaboration, working with partners to help design and deliver programmes that create lasting local impact.
Our approach offers something different; a different view of the economy, investing in local people, their ideas and lived experience.
Are you creative or a creative thinker?
Are you willing to take action to make positive change?
Do you want to help and support people to make an impact?
Are you interested in addressing inequalities in our communities?
If so, one of these roles could be for you. If you're unsure, we welcome you reaching out for a chat. Get in touch at info@kindred-lcr.co.uk
