A partnership initiative is giving families and children with educational and health needs a safe space to connect with other carers and get practical and emotional support. Peer Support Groups were launched by Wirral Council earlier this year, with local charities The Positivitree and Koala North West, and are held in Family Hubs.
The funding is for the development of a new 3G Football Pitch at Clare Mount Specialist Sports College, similar to those based at the Woodchurch Estate or Bidston Sports and Activity Centre.
Parents have to apply for a secondary school place for their child by the deadline of Friday 31 October to give their child the best chance of getting a place at one of their preferred schools.

Wirral’s Family Hubs are hosting a variety of autumn and Halloween themed activities and events this half term. There’s so much going on that we couldn’t fit it all in! With half term just around the corner, we’ve picked out five to share with you.
