The Mid-Wirral Crime Prevention Panel was formed in 1987 and consists of local volunteers working together to encourage greater community participation in protection from and reduction in crime. It aims to identify crime related problems, to consider methods of tackling these, and to undertake projects designed to assist in solving the problems by working closely with Merseyside Police and other agencies including local Homewatch schemes.
Over the years, we have funded a variety of actions to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour. This has included Friday evening football, bowling sessions and canal boat trips for young people. We have also printed booklets offering crime prevention advice to local residents and businesses, and have distributed useful items such as personal alarms and keychains.
The Panel has a formal written constitution and is registered with the Charity Commission.
The Panel operates in the Mid-Wirral area of Merseyside, in the North West of the UK.
This area includes the villages and communities of Barnston, Bebington, Brimstage, Bromborough, Eastham, Gayton, Greasby, Heswall, Irby, New Ferry, Pensby, Port Sunlight, Raby Mere, Storeton, Thingwall and Thornton Hough.
The Panel is made up of local volunteer members of the community from a variety of backgrounds. We are an independent community organisation and we work closely with Merseyside Police who provide technical advice, statistics and general support. We meet 6 times per year to discuss ways in which we can make a difference within our community.
If you have some time to spare and would like to get involved in supporting your community, we are always seeking to recruit new members to our panel.
