Hundreds of local children and young people can look forward to opening a gift on Christmas morning thanks to the generosity of residents, community groups and organisations from across the borough.

The partnership aims to raise awareness about the need for foster carers and the incredible difference they make in young lives.

The project will offer hundreds of food hampers to households in need, during the festive period and beyond.

As well as a wide range of daily activities, the clubs also provide delicious, nutritious meals and snacks.

The annual event is a celebration for children in care.

The awards acknowledge the challenges overcome and the successes of young people in Wirral.

The Local Area SEND Partnership brings together all the agencies that provide SEND services for families, children and young people in Wirral.

There are some exciting planning sessions going on to help embed the Graduated Approach across Wirral Schools next year.

The project uses ‘kintsugi’, an ancient Japanese technique of repairing a broken object often known as the art of precious scars.

This festive period, Wirral’s Family Hubs are bringing joy and support to families across the borough.

We spoke to Ashley about her experience in foster care to learn a bit more about the impact fostering can have on a person’s life.

Back at the beginning of October, Wirral’s first SEND Preparation for Adulthood Festival took place at the Floral Pavillion. More than 500 local people came along to find out about the support available for families and SEND young people across Wirral!
