Shiverpool Community Spirit

A More Empowered, Enriched & Engaged Merseyside!

Shiverpool Community Spirit is a grassroots organisation rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Merseyside; we promote Community Guardianship of Merseyside’s diverse heritage, sharing stories of people and place for the benefit of future generations.

Our mission is to connect people with their city, their history and most importantly each other, by empowering individuals and communities to shape the stories and decisions that affect their lives.

We champion creative health and wellbeing through interactive learning experiences and inclusive, community-based activities.

SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES TO COME TOGETHER

We bring people from different backgrounds into shared cultural spaces on city streets, in parks, and through performances. Our storytelling walks, heritage campaigns, workshops and clean-up days are accessible, inclusive, and joyful. They help people reconnect to each other, their history, and their own potential. Many participants are older adults who live alone, people with disabilities, or carers with limited access to community life.

Through storytelling, creative expression, outdoor learning and mentoring, we support participants to process experiences, build confidence and find HOPE.
