Following some comments and queries posted on social media in recent days Knowsley Council has pulled together information, from a range of publicly available sources, about the activities on offer for young people in Kirkby.
Cllr David Lonergan, Knowsley Council Cabinet Member for Children’s Services commented:
“We understand the importance of providing good quality and engaging activities to interest and inspire our young people across the borough. Working with partners including Merseyside Youth Association, LFC Foundation, our schools, community groups and sports clubs we are aiming to provide opportunities for our young people to flourish – in the process developing friendships, skills, confidence and helping them to make positive decisions about their lives.
In Kirkby, like other parts of the borough, these activities are delivered across a range of settings, at different times of day and cover a range of topics or themes with the aim of appealing to as wide a group of young people as possible.”
