A match day parking company set up to benefit the north Liverpool community assisted eight companies based in Salford.
Earlier this week the ECHO revealed how The Beautiful Ideas Company (BICo) helped three companies based in Salford. They were Islington Mill Arts club, Mother May 1 Ltd and Drag Lab. Islington Mill and Mother May 1 were granted loans. Drag Lab, a cross dressing club, received rent free space in the mill.
The ECHO can now reveal that BICO, set up to use match day parking cash in north Liverpool to help the local community, assisted five other organisations all based in Islington Mill, Salford. BICO granted loans to One 69A, Ceramics Studio, The Burrow, IMPA TV and Sounds from the Other City. The loan to One 69A, a community interest company that ran a collective space, was written off.
