Level Up!

We meet for coffee at the Waterfront Hotel (from around 9:30am), then take a seaside networking walk at 10:00am, finishing at an independent spot to boost local footfall. Expect friendly intros, shout-outs, and occasional member offers—all about supporting independents and growing together.

What we do

Share perks & offers: partner deals and highlights for the community.

Walk & network: simple, no-pressure conversations while we move.

Spotlight locals: we end at (and feature) independent venues

Who it’s for:
Independents, founders, and teams who want genuine connections, local impact, and a kinder way to network.

Join the Team

We’re a small team connecting ideas to action: Lewis Nickson (Poly Up) and Danny (Victoria Gyms / Level Up Network) bring the energy; midway in our mix sits Southport’s Journey magazine, edited by Lizzie Barnett; Chloe (Real Minded Media) turns moments into shareable content, and Jamie from the council helps join the dots so good ideas move forward.

What people say about us

No awkward pitches—just genuine chats while we walk. I came for a stroll and left with two collaborations and three new friends.

Local Freelancer

They literally brought a crowd to our café on a quiet morning. Friendly faces, real footfall, and follow-up support after.”
