Further Proof That DoES Is Epic

13th June 2019
"Further Proof That DoES Is Epic"

DoES Liverpool prides itself on being a socially aware, socially responsible organisation, from the things that are produced here, to the way we deal with unwanted equipment and other recycling, and the initiatives we try to spearhead in the wider community. We host multiple environmental groups, as well as providing a home for charity workers among the technologists and makers. On top of all that, fairness and equity of opportunity has been at DoES’ heart since its creation – the reason our prices are kept as low as possible is to allow as many people as possible to have access to the equipment and expertise in the space, and our completely free Maker Events make absolutely sure that no-one need be left behind.

 

Recently, we took another step forwards by becoming officially accredited by the Living Wage Foundation as a Living Wage Employer. This means that DoES pays all staff at least the national living wage, as set by the Foundation. This is higher than the government’s minimum wage, and is calculated using the basic cost of living with the aim of ensuring workers can have a decent life.

 

Although there is currently only one member of staff, along with a cleaner, this accreditation ensures that any future staff members, whether employed directly by DoES or through an agency, would have to be paid the living wage, and will ensure that that rate is tracked for existing staff.

 

We are absolutely delighted to be the first co-working space in Liverpool, and only the second Maker Space nationwide, to be have this accreditation, and to continue our history of trailblazing. We consider this a challenge to other spaces, not just in Merseyside, but around the country – come and join us in showing your users that fairness starts at home, and that people are the most important resource we have.

Sunday 09 June, 1:00pm-4:00pm “Fabulous Fascinators”

Join us for a fun beginners workshop on adding lights and electronics to your wearable items.

We’ll show you how to embellish your own custom fascinator headband, with colour-changing LEDs, and laser-cut fabric decorations. This workshop is the perfect opportunity to take your first steps in electronics, coding, and laser cutting, and suitable for anyone with an interest in fashion.

Our workshops are always fun and easy-going and this time we’ll be offering a glass of prosecco on arrival, and refreshments throughout, including hot and cold drinks and snacks.

Not only will you leave the workshop with a fabulous light-up fascinator, but you’ll also have learned a bunch of new skills, so you can continue to work on your fascinator and other wearable projects when you get home!

This event is part of the Fabric District Festival.

Tickets can be purchased from our Eventbrite page:
