Community groups from all corners of the peninsula have benefited from the first wave of “Your Wirral” funding.

Administered by Wirral Council and Wirral Partnership Homes, Your Wirral offers grants of up to £5,000 for community or voluntary groups to fund one-off projects or events.

The first four groups to benefit from a brand new source of community funding in Wirral collected their cheques from two local celebrities this week.

Actresses Suzanne Collins and Anne Marie Davies, who starred together in Brookside and who now run a business providing drama-based workshops to local young people, handed over the cash to representatives of the successful groups at the official launch of the Your Wirral fund at Tranmere Rovers on Monday.

Community and voluntary groups from right across Wirral are being invited to apply for grants of up to £5,000 from a brand new community fund being launched on Monday November 19th.
