Last night, I went to visit the Liverpool Signing Choir, and to see them rehearse at Broad Green School. I was so impressed with the choir, and really enjoyed seeing them perform. I particularly enjoyed their rendition of Search for the Hero, by M people.

The signing choir brings together children from schools across Liverpool. It is [...]

Today I visited Local Solutions – a local social enterprise set up in 1974 to help vulnerable and excluded people. Local Solution’s work includes, among other things, running helplines to help combat bullying and domestic violence, offering support for carers, offering support for those with mental health problems, working with dyslexic people, running a home insulation [...]

Thousands of people living in Liverpool Wavertree constituency use the Royal Liverpool Hospital. In fact, for most of us, it would be the first place we’d think of going if we had an accident or needed urgent medical attention.

This week, Ken McCaulay, chairman of the Liverpool Meat & Fish Traders Association, showed me around the Prescot Road market. He was kind enough to introduce me to wholesale butchers, fishmongers and some of the almost 200 staff who work there.
 
The traders have been fighting for a decent working environment for over twenty years. They have been working closely with Jane Kennedy, who [...]

Yesterday I took some time out to visit Flaxman Court, just off Edge Lane, where I met with some of the residents during their weekly Thursday morning get together. It was great talking to the men and women who live in the block and listening to their hopes for the future. All of the residents [...]

Last week I welcomed Ian Austin MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Communities and Local Government, to Liverpool to show him the results of the millions of pounds being ploughed into social housing in Liverpool by the Labour government.

I took him to Cunningham Avenue, in Old Swan, to meet Mrs Josephine [...]
