"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.
