So glad to get this out the door at last. Tell your friends, tell your neighbours! If anyone has wanted to make a start on a new project or business but couldn’t afford access to a cutting edge workshop and coworking space then this scheme is for them! – at Liverpool, England
We're celebrating our 10th anniversary with a new scheme to help more people enjoy the benefits of DoES Liverpool. Initially we're offering one full desk membership and one full workshop membership free for 6 months.
Find out more here, and please share:
