What an amazing location - full of potential yet in one of the most deprived living areas in Liverpool but easy to access by many young people in the area.

1st June i visited Mersey Rowing Club at their location on one of Liverpool Docks, They boat out of the Watersports Centre in sight of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral - the biggest in England.
Our fundraising will go to help train one of the new coaches this Autumn to safely handle their power boats and thus be able to take children out on the docks rowing. This is their landing stage.

The West Kirby Lifeboat Station building is based just at the end of the new Flood Defences that are being installed - all ready for the 1000s of summer visitors and winter waves. There is quite a tide - at low tide you can walk out to Hibre Island and despite great Lifeguard cover, there are still chances people can get into difficulty - so every second counts. Thanks for your support.
