Hoylake Village Life is a Community Interest Company (Company No. 14846183) formed in October 2009 and incorporated on 6 May 2010, whose primary aim is the regeneration of Hoylake.

Community Interest Companies (CICs) are limited companies, with special additional features, created for the use of people who want to conduct a business or other activity for community benefit, and not purely for private advantage. This is achieved by a 'community interest test' and 'asset lock', which ensure that the CIC is established for community purposes and the assets and profits are dedicated to these purposes. Registration of a company as a CIC has to be approved by the Regulator who also has a continuing monitoring and enforcement role. Click here to find out more about CICs.

We have members whose professional expertise involves urban regeneration, grant funding applications, community arts initiatives, journalism, PR, planning and more.

The group as a whole has ambitious plans for Hoylake's regeneration and there is no doubt that we have the skills and creative energy to realise these.

We have already developed excellent relationships with local councillors, Wirral Council Special Initiatives and Tourism Destination Officers,  politicians and businesses and are in the process of rolling out the brand 'Hoylake Village' locally with window stickers, banners and more. To order window stickers call 0151 632 1657 (£2 each minimum donation please).

Our first priority to fill empty shops with art galleries and other pop up retail businesses, and exploring peppercorn rent deals to attract larger names.

We are also planning local events to encourage the community and local businesses to take a positive and proactive approach to our village. We are all totally committed to succeeding; Hoylake has so much to offer and the present decline presents us with an opportunity to do great things.

We would be very grateful to hear from you on 0151 632 1657.

Good communication with local businesses and the community is vital if we are to succeed and we sincerely hope that you can help us in some way.
