The thing I love most about North Birkenhead is the people - their honesty, integrity and passion. I love the sense of community, and the history and heritage of the area I come from.

That’s what the North End of Birkenhead is - it’s community - it’s looking out for one another.

Think young people need more to do

The opportunities a child gets in life shouldn’t be determined by where they’re born but that’s been the case for too many people in North Birkenhead for too long.

The talent is there but it needs a chance. Cradle to Career could give them that chance.
