Who we are

OUR AIM: We agreed to come together with our parish priest, our MP, councillors, the pensioners and veterans of L14 4AW to build a better, safer community who literally have nothing and nowhere to play.

OUR HISTORY: In 1959, the veterans of WW2, had no meeting place, no community hub. They decided to build one. They organised a scheme of “half-crown-a-brick” and with some input from Liverpool city council, and the local Labour party the WW2 veterans came out with trowels, paint brushes, picks and shovels and literally built our meeting place, our hub, we were less PC then, more hands on.

Our meeting place lease, we are told, is to be sold, and then, who knows what? We have been offered the chance to buy the lease and in the spirit of ‘59 our now veterans and pensioners are attempting to build a new hub for the pensioners and kids. There is a small disused field connected to our centre which will be allocated to us by the council. We can and will, with your support, build a wonderful “quiet place/park” with miniature roads, and many various toddler attractions, it WILL be a magical place (drawings available) a sectioned off area for pensioner exercise equipment. We will have new trees, wildflowers, picnic benches and gazebos, hopscotch, ABCs, snakes and ladders etc. Our existing Christmas tree will be a fenced off designated “quiet area”, a place of reflection, and for our yearly Christmas carols.

If funding permits, our community hub/club, meeting place – a place where generations have been born into, Christened, Engaged, Married, Birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries of our people have been celebrated – will be bought and immediately refurbished. We will then refurbish for toddlers and young person’s activities, advice centre, breakfast club, the ideas are endless, but ONLY if we can raise the funds.

We invite all to come and visit, you’re all welcome, you will see that this field, community hub and meeting place are the only two things we have left, there is literally nothing here.

If this has gone, the community has gone, the children will have nothing and nowhere to go.
