Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!
Less than a week until the DoES Liverpool Open Day – Saturday 30th August
We’re celebrating our 14th birthday with an OpenDay and Party on Saturday 30th August! More details
A Birthday Boost
Please help us spread the word! If you, or any of your friends, could do with a Boost to get a new idea off the ground (or even just to keep going…), then take a look at our Boost scheme – 6 months free desk or workshop membership here at DoES Liverpool, conveniently situated near the centre of the city. Join our innovative community!
It’s a draw so everyone has an equal chance.
