Make CIC is a purpose-driven social enterprise based in Liverpool that creates vibrant spaces and community hubs where artists, makers, and small business owners can work, collaborate, and grow. Founded in 2012 by Kirsten Little and Liam Kelly, Make CIC was built on the belief that creativity, collaboration, and access to equipment can help people turn their passions into sustainable livelihoods. With three locations across Liverpool (North Docks, Huyton, and Birkenhead), Make CIC offers studio space, creative workshops, wellbeing programmes, and public art commissions, all designed to bring people together and support local talent.
