There’s a free community event this Friday in and around the Phoenix Children’s centre in Bryer Road in Prescot. It’s being organised by the Family Voices = Family Choices group that runs activities to support local families.
There’ll be a small fairground, a magician, dancers, stalls, hot food and refreshments and a grand finale with fireworks. The event is called Phoenix Night and will run from 3pm to 9pm on February November 2nd. It’s supported by the children’s centres in the Whiston area, Knowsley Council, Merseyside Police and other community groups.
Family Voices = Family Choices was set up as a charity by local parents just over a year ago, with the help of the local children’s centres. It’s now being developed as a social enterprise with charitable status. The money raised from activities is ploughed back to increase and improve what’s provided.
They are based at Southmead Children’s Centre but run activities in the community across Prescot, Whiston, Cronton and Knowsley Village. These include ‘Stay and Play’ sessions, a dads club, community events and a buddy service.
