The gap in life expectancy between East and West Wirral is 12 years.
This shocking statistic provided the inspiration for the Life Expectancy Project, where churches from East and West Wirral are twinned to help each others communities.
You can see a brief powerpoint presentation about the project here.
An important and potentially ground breaking Summit took place on the 19th of January 2010 at St Marys Upton led by Bishop Keith Sinclair and attended by Wirral YFC and a number of other agencies that are involved on the ground.
Alongside this project, Wirral Besom has been formed to provide a bridge between those who want to give time, money, things or skills and those who are in need. Wirral Besom ensures that what is given is used effectively and the service provided is free to the end user.
