Objectives

The main aim of the organisation is to assist in the alleviation of the high levels of multi deprivation that exist locally. Tackling issues around education, employment, training, advice, guidance, support and health, the organisation intends to use the centre in a way that will not only generate money for the area and be self-sustainable but help address such issues.

Its purpose is to run a viable community centre that will serve not only local residents of Woodchurch but also its surrounding neighbourhoods and constituencies across Wirral.

Activities

Operating in one of the most deprived areas in the UK, staff and board members are aware of the challenges they face: these, combined with reduced funding and government cutbacks, add to the pressures of maintaining a building, providing services and, more importantly, meeting local need and addressing those important issues that rank the area in the 2% most deprived.

It is for these reasons the Board is clear on the skill sets required from staff, volunteers and board members that will achieve such a challenging task. It is confident of current commitments and wishes to develop the Centre, staff, volunteers and services to achieve all that is detailed in the following plan.

  • We have a social supermarket on Hoole Road in Woodchurch that sells reduced food to those in need
  • Various Gardening projects
  • Emergency food hampers
  • Telephone Befrienders (currently on hold)
  • Summer Youth Club
