Fabric District CIC is recruiting a Board Member & Cultural Regeneration Lead
We’re looking for a passionate new Board Member to lead our work in culture-led regeneration in Liverpool.
The Fabric District has long been one of Liverpool’s hidden gems. Just moments from the city centre, it is now being rediscovered and reimagined by a new wave of entrepreneurs, established developers and long-standing local businesses.
Founded in 2017, the Fabric District CIC is driving the regeneration of Liverpool’s London Road and Islington areas, creating a place where business, culture, and community thrive.
And the area is starting to gain the recognition it deserves with The Times recently naming it one of the Best Places to Live in the North West 2025, one of the Best Places to Invest in the UK, AND one of the best places to live if you’re under 35!
One of the key pillars of the Fabric District is celebrating and growing our strong cultural offer as a key part of regenerating the area. The district is already home to a lively music and arts scene and is a vibrant hub for creative enterprises, including Kempston Street Studios (formerly Parr Street Studios), which has hosted artists from Coldplay to Miles Kane, and The Tapestry, a creative community hub in a converted warehouse.
Against this backdrop, the Fabric District CIC is looking to bolster the board with a new lead on culture. This Culture Pillar Lead will develop the District’s cultural regeneration strategy and establish partnerships with creative organisations across Liverpool.
If you’re passionate about culture, regeneration, and Liverpool’s future, this is your chance to make a real impact. The role takes around one day a month and offers the chance to work with a dedicated team shaping the Fabric District’s next chapter.

If you wish to apply, please send your CV and a cover letter to info@fabricdistrict.co.uk

You’ll:
- Lead the development of a cultural regeneration strategy for the district
