The Merseyside Police Community Relations Unit in Wirral together with The North Wirral Crime Prevention Panel recently awarded three “Good Citizen� awards to young people from the Woodchurch.
Jess Cain, Steph Fry and Hannah Browne all 15years live in the Woodchurch. All attend the local SNAP (Saturday Night Activities Programme) Youth club which they assist the staff with the younger element up to 100 youths.
They have also attended a BLAZE PROJECT course at Birkenhead run by the Fire Service on a weekly basis, learning new skills whilst improving their self-confidence and developing self-esteem.
They also work on the estate with older people, volunteering during the Christmas period to visit residents from a local nursing home and help put up their decorations.
Their next step is to attend a residential Outreach course in Wales. Not put off by the cost of equipment, they are currently fundraising to achieve their latest goal. They have organised Charity car washes with the Fire Service, sponsored walks and ‘bag packs’ at local supermarkets.
The young people are pictured receiving certificates and gift vouchers at Wallasey Police Station. Merseyside Police Youth Co-ordinator, Constable Colin Newby said “It’s always nice to be able to reward young people for positive actions that make Wirral a safer place to live, work and visit.�
