Magnit x Enactus Liverpool Project Showcase 2026
The Enactus Liverpool team visited the Magnit offices to showcase two of their projects: Project Ruby, which aims to address period poverty across the Merseyside area. And Breaking Barriers, their project that focuses on on increasing access to opportunities for 16–18 year olds in the Sefton Park area, helping them develop the skills and awareness needed to support their future pathways.
Throughout the day, students and coaches discussed project development and implementation, with Enactus Liverpool delivering two presentations outlining the progress and great impact of both initiatives. The session provided an opportunity for the team to present their work and receive expert feedback from members of the Magnit team, while also sharing the community impact their projects have achieved so far.
Students also had time to connect with coaches individually, gaining feedback on their pitching and storytelling, as well as practical advice to help strengthen their projects. Overall, the session supported the team in identifying areas for improvement and next steps, putting them in a strong position to continue developing and scaling the impact of both projects.
From our partners’ and coaches’ perspective, the session was a valuable opportunity to engage with students, explore their ideas, and contribute feedback to support the next stage of their projects. Coaches valued the opportunity to see first-hand the progress Enactus Liverpool has made across both projects.
“I was completely blown away by the work ethic, collaboration, maturity and commitment to making communities a better place. These students showed the importance of business plans built with a real social purpose and conscience, alongside real entrepreneurial spirit.”

Following the session, student feedback highlighted the positive impact the day had on their development. 100% of students shared that the session helped them develop or improve their communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. In addition, 100% of students said that working closely with corporate volunteers had a positive influence on both their experience and personal development.
“A huge thank you to everyone involved for the support, guidance and constructive feedback, which is already helping us strengthen both our presentation structure and confidence in delivering it.”
- Freya Davidson, Enactus Liverpool
When reflecting on what they found most valuable, students consistently highlighted the benefit of receiving external feedback and new perspectives, with many noting how useful it was to hear fresh ideas and approaches from outside their teams. Others pointed to the opportunity to practice presenting and build confidence, particularly when engaging with business leaders. Direct conversations with volunteers were also a key takeaway, with students valuing the chance to ask questions, receive tailored advice, and feel supported in developing both their projects and themselves.
We are super grateful to our partner Magnit for hosting the session and providing valuable feedback to our Changemakers. Experiences like this play an important role in helping students strengthen their impact and continue developing their responsible leadership skills. We look forward to seeing how Enactus Liverpool, alongside other Enactus teams, continues to progress.
