Make a gift
Any gift you can make to support our work is greatly appreciated. Despite cultural recovery funding from the HM Government and Arts Council England, funding for arts, culture and heritage looks set to become even harder than the previous decade of austerity. Anything you can spare will help us to continue our work with artists and communities for 2021. Make a gift...
SMART testing in Liverpool
Liverpool has opened some SMART testing sites that it would like you to know about.
Click here for the leaflet / Click here for the site opening times.
You can just pop in for a lateral flow Covid test. Don’t forget to take your mobile phone, if you have one, and your face covering. The City Council is still encouraging everyone living, working or studying in Liverpool to get a free Covid-19 test, as part of the city’s SMART testing programme. If you have NO symptoms, please drop into one of our testing centres. They want everyone to get tested regularly, before everyday activities like shopping, going to the hairdressers, the gym or for a night out. There’s also two pop-up sites in the Town Hall and Liverpool One or anyone who’s out and about in the city centre to use. There’s no need to book, just turn up. For a full list of centres go to: www.liverpool.gov.uk/smarttesting Let’s Get Tested Liverpool – Let’s get life going again.
