ReCITE Health research project

This course is part of a wider public health research project called ReCITE, led by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

These 6-week workshops provide a safe space for individuals to explore and share their healthcare experiences through storytelling, with professional guidance from writers Louise Fazackerley and Claire Beerjeraz. Participants will develop their stories, which may be transformed into multimedia outputs and shared amongst local communities, health practitioners and policy makers, designed to highlight issues and inspire positive change.

Participants will be financially compensated for their time commitment and the usage of their stories in this research project.

We are looking for people who:
– are over 18
– live in Knowsley
– have lived experience of barriers to accessing healthcare

Scam Website

We have been made aware of a scam website set up in the name of Halewood Town Council by Parish UK.
They do this through the creation of what could be construed as official town and parish council websites, which includes information relating to the council, education, business, planning, property, heritage and farming. Spam emails are then being sent to businesses purporting to come directly from these town and parish councils enquiring about business listings alongside requests for payment.
This website is not endorsed by Halewood Town Council. Please DO NOT open any emails.

Spark Drummers – Moment of Lights Performance

International street theatre performers Spark! drummers return to Knowsley for a rescheduled performance in Halewood Triangle Park on Sunday 20 October.
Spark! performed across Knowsley’s town centres at the start of the year to launch Knowsley’s 50th anniversary year. Sadly, an amber weather warning meant that the Halewood performance had to be rescheduled. The performance promises to be a live music and movement spectacular!
The free family-friendly performance will take place at Halewood Triangle Park on Sunday 20 October from 5.30pm. Specific timings for the event and further information will be shared closer to the date.
Please note that there will be no parking at Halewood Triangle Park on the evening of the event, so we ask that spectators attend on foot or by public transport. There will be very limited disability parking on site. Further details will be shared on culture Knowsley’s website and social media.
