Real Radio and the St Stephen's Centre May 2009

Please excuse this post but I have just had some exciting news and I can’t help but share it with you, the Centre attached to St Stephen’s, the church I work at, has reached the final of a local competition.

Real Radio (105.4 fm) and Foundation (a climate fund for the north west) have been running a competition looking for a community project that needs a new lease of life and out of the 150 centres looked at the St Stephen’s Centre, Gateacre has been chosen as one of the three finalists and the only one from Liverpool.

Voting for the overall winner began today and continues until 21st May (my birthday!!!) with winner to be announced on Friday 22nd May.

The judging panel were looking for projects that would benefit as many people in the community as possible, and of course it was also important that the projects were committed to a low carbon future. They say it was a tough process but they now have 3 finalists, so it’s over to you to vote for your favourite!

PLEASE, please, please will you go online and vote for us at:

I know I am being cheeky but I can’t help asking!
