Getting ready for our Service of Remembrance on Nov. 11th. Tidying away (literally millions 😂) of leaves, adding mulch to the flower beds, moss to the soldier displays, popping our new flag up....the list is endless, but we will be ready. We hope to see you there, all welcome.

We're pleased & proud to announce Birkenhead MP, Alison McGovern, has agreed to be the new patron of our charity, following on from Lord Field of Birkenhead, who held the position from 2004 until his sad death earlier this year. We look forward to a long & successful association.

APPEAL FOR INFO.. An interpretation board has been ripped up & stolen. Held in ground using a bag of postcrete on each leg, weighs about 30kg. Probably required a vehicle. The things we do are repeatedly targeted and we are devastated. If you find it dumped, please let us know.

The Friends recently funded a major project, carried out with the consent and assistance of W.B.C. Monuments weighing up to a tonne, were moved back to their original graves. Thought to have been vandalised in the 80's, pushed over a wall, to a communal grave below 😟

Our new bird identifier in the Remembrance Garden. The wildflower seeds are appearing and the hedge laying we did along the railings a couple of years ago is doing great :)
