Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) from schools across Wirral recently came together with local Family Hub teams for a powerful day of connection, collaboration and change, all with the purpose of improving support for children and families.

Community events provide a welcoming environment for families to connect with others who are passionate about supporting breastfeeding.

The event included an interactive workshop where children created their own oral health animations.

The swings can accommodate up to 250kg and fit most large wheelchairs.

Foster families gathered at Birkenhead Park for a fun-packed afternoon of games and activities – with a visit from a musical guest and a furry friend!

A team of volunteers, with a passion for improving the lives of young people, will be working with Wirral’s schools to help them give children the right support to achieve their aspirations.

Wirral’s working parents are being asked to help the council understand what level of childcare will be needed in future. 

49% of children looked after in Wirral are between 13 and 18 years old. Cheryl wants to support children in this age group, especially those in the care system.

If you’ve ever been to St James Centre Family Hub in North Birkenhead, you’ll know it’s no ordinary building. It’s a lively, welcoming space at the heart of the community – a place where people of all ages come together to chat, learn, play, and support one another.

Dedicated stay and play sessions for children with autism or social and communication difficulties are providing a safe and secure environment for children to play their own way and be themselves.
