Wirral Carers E-News Issue 40 May 2021 WIRED Carers Support Carer Connectors Making Caring Visible and Valued Wirral Carers E-news Issue: 40 Date: May 2021 Save the date Wired annually support Carers Week by holding activities and events—due to Covid, this year our events are virtual and online. We will shortly be sending out our Carers Week Flyer with our week long Program of Events —we look forward to you joining any or all of our sessions whether for Information and advice, relaxation, music, crafting—or our Quiz Friday. The mindful jar Hello, it Aimee, I'm the project lead for the Advanced Programme. We are recruiting for a new programme starting in the coming weeks and we're looking for 16-18-year-olds who are interested in healthcare. We understand that education is not always accessible to everyone and the aim of the programme is to empower young people to pursue careers within the NHS. The programme is held weekly and is virtual at the moment but ordinarily, the cadets will meet once a week at Alder Hey, Children's Hospital. The programme teaches key skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication and include placement in Alder Hey when permitted under current guidelines. If you have any young people between the ages of 16-18 who you feel this would benefit, please forward this link so they can register an expression of interest. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-zfQkRRH6E- whGjAg7gZPxbnq12dXxNIrt47Rw0WJ1lUNU1ZTkpJT09JNkQzVENURkIwTVRTVE8wMS4u I'm more than happy to talk through anything so please don't hesitate to get in touch. Aimee Tinsley—Project Lead (NHS Cadets- Liverpool) 07595 078 278 St John Ambulance, Stoneleigh Park, Kenilworth, CV8 2TA Post to St John Ambulance, 100 Lionel Street, Birmingham, B3 1DG If you’re interested in football activities, we want to hear from you! The council has the chance to bid for funding to bring more grassroots footballing opportunities to Wirral, but we need your help to do it. Our funding bid will focus on getting Birkenhead and Tranmere, Seacombe, Bidston and St. James, Rock Ferry and Liscard the facilities and activities the community wants– that’s residents, sports clubs, groups and local organisations together. And this is where you come in . Whether it’s playing, coaching, refereeing, or just supporting that interests you, we want you to tell us how we could spend the money in those communities. Similarly, if your organisation or group would be interested in helping us deliver any football activities, we want to hear from you so that we can work together to develop an exciting programme of activities, based on the feedback received in this consultation. If you’re interested, please get in touch with the team by email [email protected]. We’ll be asking the National Lottery’s Active Through Football funding programme for up to £750,000 later in Spring for activities for young people ages 16 & over, and adults of all ages. We think that showing what local people and local groups really want, and how they will get involved, will give us a really good chance at getting the money. To tell us how you want us to deliver football in your area, you can fill out the survey by visiting :Have Your Say websitehttps://haveyoursay.wirral.gov.uk . Please can you kindly share this email and link with your contacts and community databases, including young people 16+ you work with. For support filling out this survey, or to complete the survey in a different way, please contact the team by emailing [email protected] Disclaimer: Every effort is made to ensure that the information in this E-bulletin is correct.

  • East Wirral(Mersey Estuary)
    River Mersey near to Eastham Country Park. East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) The East Wirral route takes you from the start of the Manchester Ship Canal on the banks of the River Mersey, into the woodlands of Eastham Country Park and through the area of industrial heritage of the east coast to Seacombe. Along the route you will pass near to the historic village of Port Sunlight, through the Victorian suburb of Rock Park, past Cammell Lairds Shipyard, and along to Woodside where you can see the world’s first rail tram system. 60 From Woodside Ferry Terminal and the U-boat Story you will pass the docks, the Twelve Quays Irish Ferry Terminal and on towards Seacombe, where you will find Spaceport and the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront World Heritage Site. The River Mersey was once renowned as a polluted river but now it’s not unusual to see seals, porpoise and dolphin in the Mersey. Charter fishing boats regularly pass from the Mersey to Liverpool Bay which has become one of the best inshore cod fishing grounds in north west Europe. 61 East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) Eastham Country Park 1 Eastham Country Park Eastham Country Park holds immense value and is a long- standing, major leisure and nature conservation area. It covers some 43 hectares and it is the last remaining substantial area of undeveloped land with public access on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port. Its location gives it particular importance as a local amenity, wildlife and educational resource. The site includes approximately 26 hectares of mature mixed deciduous woodland, 8 hectares of amenity grassland, 3 hectares of new plantation woodland and 3 hectares of natural grassland and scrub.

  • Seacombe (Poulton Road) Action Plan
    SEACOMBE (POULTON ROAD) ACTION PLAN This Action Plan is a comprehensive strategy for potential future development and change within the Seacombe (Poulton Road) Local Centre area. The Action Plan builds on the Wirral Town, District and Local Centres Study and Delivery Framework 2011 (“2011 Town Centre Study”) which is a broader strategy for the regeneration and growth of the Borough 23 local, district and town centres outside Birkenhead. This in turn updated the Wirral Strategy for Town Centres, Retail and Commercial Leisure produced for the Council by Roger Tym & Partners (“the RTP report”) in 2009. Detailed analysis and consultation work was undertaken in producing the 2011 Town Centre Study, including wider consultation at a strategic level (Core Strategy) and more focused consultation with key stakeholders and traders. The findings and conclusions of this work form the basis of the Seacombe Action Plan . In producing the Seacombe Action Plan, further consultation work has been undertaken. We have engaged with key stakeholders and traders, providing the opportunity for their input into the plan. The consultation responses and feedback have therefore been captured within the proposed Action Plan and have informed the key issues identified. The Seacombe Action Plan provides a more detailed framework for shaping the regeneration of the centre, setting out issues, objectives and potential interventions in respect of regeneration, planning, design, sustainability and transport. It articulates a shared vision for the enhancement of Seacombe as a local centre. Its use is therefore neither led nor limited to council officers and it should be utilised by traders, community groups and any one else with an interest in their town centre.
