We are #BuildingBackStronger.
As we take the first steps on the roadmap out of the pandemic, the Liverpool City Region is working together to kickstart our economic recovery. We have all been affected by the pandemic and we all need to work as one to ensure that we are #BuildingBackStronger.
We have already come together as a City Region, through our businesses, our local authorities, our social economy and the Combined Authority, to create an economic recovery plan which, if backed by Government, will mean £1.4bn of investment yields a £9bn boost to our economy and the creation of 122,000 jobs.
We are resilient. We are confident. And we are renowned for our solidarity and for sticking together when times are tough.
Here, we tell the stories of just some of the amazing partner businesses, projects and organisations that Liverpool City Region CA has supported.
There are stories of touching community projects which prove that passion and determination truly change lives. There are stories of remarkable creativity that illustrate yet again what a hotbed of innovation and imagination this region is.
And there are stories of huge, ground-breaking schemes that will change the face of this region, and its economy, forever and for the better. All of them are stories of resilience, hope and optimism.
Here, our reporting team and camera crew provide living proof of the opportunities that working together will afford us to improve the quality of life for the 1.6 million residents of this extraordinary, and indomitable, City Region.
