"I believe we are

making a

difference and

making it

consistently"

Michelle Roach, Founder
and Director

We are NBIL — New Beginnings, Improving Lives CIC.
Building brighter futures for
our city, empowering our
people, and strengthening the
place we call home.

 At NBIL — New Beginnings, Improving

 Lives CIC — we are more than just a

 community organisation; we are a vital

 lifeline for individuals and families across

Liverpool. Based on Rocky Lane, L6 4BB,

in one of Liverpool’s most deprived

 communities, we work at the heart of

 an area facing deep social and economic challenges. Our ward is recognised

 among the most disadvantaged in the

 city, with Liverpool continuing to rank

 among the most deprived local authorities

 in England. (Liverpool City Council)

 As the cost of living continues to rise and

 secure employment opportunities

 become harder to find, too many families

 are being forced to make impossible

 choices between heating their homes

 and feeding their children. Across

 Liverpool, more than 40% of children are 

 growing up in poverty, while many

 residents experience significant health

 inequalities and long-term poor wellbeing.  (champspublichealth.com)

 At NBIL, we believe everyone deserves

 dignity, opportunity, and hope. That is

 why we are passionate about supporting

 our city, empowering our people, and 

 strengthening the communities we

 proudly call home. Through practical

 support, wellbeing initiatives, community

 outreach, and life-changing opportunities,

 we are committed to creating brighter

 futures for the people who need it most.
