Help shape the heritage initiative by taking part in consultations, or celebrate Prescot's history at events taking place throughout the project. Schools and colleges can also get hands-on with the past through activities and workshops for groups.
Historic buildings need people with the right knowledge to look after them. The THI will give people in and entering the local construction industry the opportunity to gain new skills and experience.
The THI will also help people find out more about careers in heritage.
Keep up-to-date by following us on twitter or find out more at 'Space to Create', the THI information centre on Eccleston Street.
