Marmot principles:

  1. Creating fair employment and good work for all
The Liverpool Business School’s Business and Accounting Clinics provide important help to charities, social enterprises, and businesses that make a profit. The clinics give final-year students the chance to work on real business projects, offering expert advice for free. This benefits the organisations and the whole community. Students, teachers, and business mentors work together to help organisations improve, grow, and adapt to changes.​

This partnership allows organisations that might not be able to pay for outside experts to still get high-quality advice. The Accounting Clinic is helping charities with free accounting. This means the charities can use their money for their main work. These clinics help improve the local economy and social development. This work supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Focusing on fairness, equality, and sustainability.​

The clinics support organisations that make a positive impact on the community. The projects can be varied. This could be opening a café in north Liverpool, to helping businesses plan their future. ​

The services help these organisations build stronger teams and leaders. It makes it easier for them to succeed and create good jobs. Having stable jobs is important for the well-being of people in Liverpool. The value of these projects – both in money and in how they help the community – keeps growing. Showing how important they are for building successful and sustainable communities.
