Street Angels Birkenhead

A volunteer-led initiative supported by local churches, working to ensure safety in Birkenhead town centre during the evening and night-time. Teams of volunteers help prevent crime, reduce risks, and assist those in need, collaborating with the police, NHS, and other services to create a safer community.

Made On My Patch

Made On My Patch is a garden allotment programme inviting people with similar lived-experience to learn how to plan, produce and enjoy food grown in their own homes or shared space. Partnering with garden centres and food banks, we hope to launch and support many Patch Networks. 

Live

The Mountain Pass

Originally funded by the National Lottery, The Mountain Pass is a walking programme made up of weekly local walks that builds up to a mountain expedition. It includes mindfulness techniques to enable participants to be more resilient and improve their health and wellbeing. Over 100 people have benefitted from the programme since 2023.

In Wirral it is hosted by Nightingale Café CIC, Birkenhead. We are accepting referrals and seeking to establish more walking groups in the region.  

Case Study

MyTime for Carers

Caring full-time for a loved one as a volunteer is one of the most selfless things a person can do. So we were very open to helping Local Solutions think through a solution to support and encourage their carers in a way that can scale.
Case Study

Harnessing Health Network

As a senior leader working as a consultant for the health and social care system, there are limited options to gain inspiration and an opportunity to learn and share with like-minded systems transformation professionals. That was until the Harnessing Health Network was established.

Case Study

Alcohol Licensing Community Action Toolkit

Residents in Cheshire & Merseyside are being encouraged to become more involved in alcohol local licensing decisions and to have their say on how alcohol impacts their community.

Case Study

Safe Families for Children

Helping a family with children who is in a crisis is one of the greatest privileges there is. Presented with an opportunity to create the foundations to make that a reality for hundreds of families with the help of hundreds of volunteers, was simply too great to resist.

Case Study

National Hillbagging Initiative

We think the great outdoors is the perfect place to gather your thoughts and reflect on life’s highs and low, whilst having fun and keeping fit. With mental health high up the healthy lifestyle priority ladder, we worked on an idea that brings these together.

Just Good Friends has been set up to combat loneliness and social isolation by bringing people together in friendship with events, weekly meetings and one to one phone calls, making sure no-one is ever on their own again. This is something we feel  passionately about and wanted to assist.
