WYFC in North Wirral

As the profile of WYFC grew in the late 90's so did the demand from Wirral’s schools. On any given day the team could deliver an assembly in the North of Wirral, a lesson in the South, a cu in the West and end up at an after school club in the East. Whilst these opportunities were very gratefully received on some days it could feel like time was spent dashing around the Wirral rather than making relationships and producing great work. It quickly became apparent that a more strategic approach to our work was required. In 2003 WYFC split into 4, and later 5, distinct projects: North Wirral, West Wirral, East Wirral, Church Resources and E:merge.

The North Wirral Project was pioneered by Beth Duncan, Mim Baker and Jon Pettman (not to be confused with John Putman) and is now being run with massive success by Lee Jennings. Lee and his predecessors have made some amazing links in St Mary’s and Wallasey School and have had input in Oldershaw, Wetherhead and Mosslands as well. One of the projects biggest successes is the Haven drop-in on Seabank road which would not be possible had it not been envisioned in partnership with New Brighton Baptist Church. If you would like to hear more about this project, Lee's amazing work in Wallasey's secondary schools or the haven drop-in why not get in touch or invite Lee to deliver an inspiring presentation.
