The Merseyside Etsy Team started in 2011 as a way for local creatives, selling online, to build a community together.
Working alone - often from home - can be isolating and lonely, so a way to connect with others in the same position is really important.
We now have over 800 team members, we hold in-person meet-ups each month, have a series of small-business workshops for team members and have an active private Facebook group offering networking, coaching and support to each other.
The team is run exclusively by volunteers - we have a Captain and a number of Team Leaders who all provide admin and support for the team on an entirely voluntary basis.
Each year we take part in fundraising activities, and to date have raised around £3500 for various local charities.
Anyone who sells on Etsy and is located in or around the Merseyside area can join the team, we actively welcome new members.
