The Sir Peter Rigby Centre for Enterprise is designed to help people across the University and the Liverpool City Region improve their skills and education, as well as helping them realise their dreams.
To make this a reality, there are several ambitious plans in place. But we also need help from our community, who can share their knowledge and use their own varied skillsets to help others grow in entrepreneurial and enterprise talents.
Find out more about the various ways you can get involved, helping our users and assisting the Centre in achieving its goals of helping 50,000 people achieve their dreams.
