European Neighbours Day`s Here
Residents living in Bentinck Street, Birkenhead and surrounding streets were invited along to an event which was organised by The Stronger Communities Initiative Assembly, SureStart and Wirral Methodist Housing Association. The purpose of the event was to provide local residents with an opportunity to come together and take part in a range of fun activities and to raise awareness of the cultural diversity in Birkenhead. With a small grant from Wirral VCAW, the event organisers were able to give residents the opportunity to sample authentic food from Continental Europe, provided by WirralChange, (Black and Racial Minorities Outreach Service), and join PCSO`s in European themed games and competitions and art and craft activities. Jill Carter, Wirral Methodist Housing Association "The aim of the event is to bring residents together and to create a feeling of belonging to the same community, hopefully it will be a stimulus to encourage members of the community to be involved future community activities".

Volunteers Paint a Rainbow in Woodside
A BIG THANK YOU to the community of Woodside for helping to repaint and provide a rainbow of colour in the Church Street Playground in Woodside, Birkenhead. With the help of a Community First Grant, The Stronger Communities Initiative Assembly, SCIA, were able to purchase the plants and painting materials they needed to put the colour back into the playground. Pam Lawson, Secretary of SCIA Said “Unfortunately budget cuts had meant that WBC were unable to redecorate the playground for us, So they very kindly donated the paint and some enormous planters that we are able to fill with the brightest plants we could find, and we have created a wonderful, colourful and fun space for local residents and their children to enjoy”. “Events like this bring the whole community together and get local residents talking and meeting with one another, the playground had become an area of anti-social behaviour and now the residents have reclaimed it back”. “When we arrived this morning the playground looked unloved and not a very inspiring place to be, and although there was nothing wrong with the playground equipment, it was in desperate need of an injection of colour. All it took was a few hours and a bunch of hard working volunteers and now we have a playground that is bright and cheerful and a lovely place to be on a sunny day. The local community should be very proud of what they have done today and I hope that this is the start of more local community events in the area.” Jill Carter-Wirral Methodist Housing Association.
