Youth Work in Schools
We are delighted to be getting to know our neighbours at West Kirby Residential School better. We enjoy welcoming some of their students on work experience placements at Toddler Group and are especially thankful that the school let us use their carpark on Sunday mornings!
West Kirby URC values its relationship with West Kirby Primary School where our Youth and Children's Work Coordinator, Dan, leads a charity club. Dan has previously served as a governor at the school, and another of our church members does so currently. The church are pleased to welcome the pupils of West Kirby Primary School for annual events including the year six team building-day and the school carol services.

Together with partners from Heswall parish, Dan leads weekly 'Pulse' sessions for pupils at West Kirby Grammar School. Christian Unions have been taking in place in schools for decades and Pulse is a re-invention, a space for young people to consider and learn about their faith in a personal way. Pulse is a Wirral Youth for Christ project and has three aims:

|
1. LEARN
To create space for every young person to consider and learn about the Christian faith in a personal way.
2. GROW
To create opportunities for young people to explore Christian beliefs and teachings – to come to a better understanding of God. Not only that but we want young people to create positive relationships with their peers and leaders as they are discipled in the Christian faith
3. GO
To encourage young Christians in schools to support each other and engage in schools based mission and beyond.
