Crime prevention partners are approaching the fight against serious and organised crime from a new angle with the roll out of ‘Dear Merseyside’ in secondary schools in EVOLVE areas
Those few minutes between something happening and the emergency services arriving are often the most crucial, which is why access to things like the bleed kits, community defibrillators and Emergency Help Points are so important.
The treatment from the emergency kits can be lifesaving as it aims to reduce the amount of blood that might be lost from a wound while a rapid response ambulance crew is making its way to the scene
Together As One is a multi-agency campaign highlighting the vast array of work that is being carried out by a range of individuals and groups who are united in a common goal to show that Merseyside will not tolerate serious violence.
Grants of up to £2,000 can be bid for by groups working within the three EVOLVE Wirral areas - Woodchurch, Beechwood & Ballantyne and Noctorum – plus, this year, groups working in Rock Ferry and New Ferry.
During Anti Social Behaviour Week, Wirral's Community Safety Team and partners from other organisations stepped up activity around the borough to help educate residents on how to report incidents of anti-social behaviour.
Residents in the three EVOLVE Wirral areas joined representatives from the council, Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and other partners in taking part in Environmental Action Days.
More than 700 people have been arrested and hundreds of thousands of pounds of drugs have been seized following the implementation of a strategy to combat serious and organised crime in parts of Wirral
Wirral residents are invited to pledge their commitment to the national anti-violence message and share feedback on the Knife Angel on display in Birkenhead Park.
A 27-foot-high sculpture of an angel is set to come to Wirral in July as part of a nationwide campaign tour highlighting the reality of knife and other violent crime.
