The South Sefton Development Trust also manages a £6.5m purpose built office block in the heart of the administrative quarter in Bootle. The revenues for this will enable us to fulfil our employment support role. The building also contains a 22-space incubation unit for new start businesses. Now 80% full, with a range of blue chip commercial companies, private SMEs working in the health sector, small third sector organisations and the regeneration department of the local authority.
SSDT has just secured almost £300,000 to develop and deliver a European-wide Ignite programme with partners in Cyprus, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Sweden and Germany. Pilot courses will be running in Summer 2012 – so watch this space!
