Empowering People

Transforming Lives
Transforming lives by sharing impactful, lived experiences that resonates with the youth.
Role Models
Creating a safe haven with good role models to young people.
Positive Impact
Having a positive impact on crime reduction, substance use, county lines, grooming, drug dealing and mental, physical & emotional health and wellbeing.
Workshops & Sessions
The primary focus us would be to work with young people residing in Birkenhead and the surrounding areas.
This group of young people can lack positive, meaningful relationships in their lives, and many may also have autistic spectrum disorder or ADHD. They all have the potential to, or will already, be engaged with the criminal justice system. Our hope is to improve theirs and the communities prospects with workshops, sessions & training in our gym.
Community Involvement
Our approach will be to work collaboratively with local agencies to provide improvements to the community.
Weapons Down Wirral is already providing lifesaving bleed control kits, offering gym sessions & weapons workshops which we hope will lead to improve local community safety, reduce violent crime and improve prospects of the younger generations.
