  • Good news for Wirral! Wirral Youth for Christ (YFC) successfully applied for community funding of £6,000 from Natwest bank to continue running their brilliant Romance Academy project. The project is a unique 12 week venture which addesses the underlying causes of risky youth behaviour by promoting stable relationships. The course is delivered from a Christian perspective and helps young people grow in confidence, wisdom and maturity. Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote!
