About Us

Regenerus achieved a major coup with its first project when it brought Antony Gormley’s Another Place to Crosby beach. This major installation by the Angel of the North artist features 100 life-size iron figures looking out to sea.

The sculptures, which were originally only a temporary feature, attracted so much interest that a high-profile campaign was launched to keep them in Sefton permanently.

They have now become one of the borough’s most popular attractions. Since the ‘Iron Men’ Regenerus has been involved in a wide range of other projects across Merseyside and beyond including:

• Managing the £6-million Investment Centre office building in Bootle town centre.
• Providing a wide range of support to new and developing businesses in the area.
• Providing opportunities for continued professional development via accredited training.
• Helping Merseyside residents to improve their job prospects by offering pre-employment training opportunities.
• Supporting local arts and heritage projects.
• Providing funding for neighbourhood environmental projects via its Ace Fund grant scheme.
• Being commissioned by the European Commission to deliver social enterprise training in five European countries.
• Working as one of the partners in a major European Commission-funded project to promote the benefits of virtual mobility to unemployed young people in six European countries.
• Helping local residents to learn horticultural skills and establish community gardens via the Taking Root Project.
• Managing Sefton Council’s Environmental Improvements Fund which provides funding for residents to tackle grotspots in Linacre Ward.
• Playing a key role as a partner in innovative European projects including Tomorrow’s Land, Unravel Tomorrow and Feedback.
