To celebrate National Breastfeeding Week, we’re sharing the story of a Wirral mum and her breastfeeding journey, highlighting how support from local organisations like Koala North West has made a lasting impact. From feeling isolated during lockdown with her first baby to finding connection, confidence, and care with her second, her experience shows just how vital community support can be.
As Accessible Outdoors month comes to a close this July, we wanted to highlight an opportunity to get out and about on two (or three) wheels right here in Wirral - in Birkenhead Park.

Families in Wirral navigating the Child Protection process now have access to a new kind of support. Parent Advocates offer free, independent support to families whose children are under a Child Protection Plan. With training and first-hand experience, they provide guidance, reassurance and someone to stand alongside families when it matters most.
We wanted to let you know that, following a recent Committee meeting, approval has been given to start work on two new travel policies for children and young people.
The Healthy Start Scheme helps eligible pregnant women and parents of young children buy milk, fruit, vegetables, pulses, and first infant formula, and also provides free vitamins.
Families from across Wirral came together for an afternoon of fun, learning and laughter at the Start for Life family event, a free drop-in, packed with activities, expert advice and support for anyone raising children aged 0–5.
