Residents’ workshops - following on from an initial two events that took place in May - are an opportunity for people to voice their ideas about new family hubs.
Mark Palios, chairman and co-owner of Tranmere Rovers FC, describes the benefits of his life changing experience in foster care and how it created a ripple effect, leading to his success over the years.
With the first week of Fostering Fortnight coming to an end, Wirral Council is addressing some of the most common misunderstandings about becoming a foster carer.
Foster care is at the heart of our communities, enabling children to stay local, close to everything that is familiar to them. This Foster Care Fortnight we want to celebrate all that the fostering community does to ensure children are cared for and supported to thrive.
Gareth and Wendy have been fostering for nearly nine years. Already parents themselves, the couple wanted to foster as their two sons had grown up and they had room to spare.
The project, called 'Invitation to Play', aims to create resources in the community to prompt ‘learning through play’. Pictured: one of the activity boards in Victoria Park.
Children and families in Wirral benefit from “a generally well-coordinated range of family support and early help services that make a positive difference to their lives” according to inspectors.
