About Better Health Start For Life in Wirral
In June 2021, we launched 12 brand new story trails in local parks and lakes across the country for families, carers and early years settings with children aged 2-5.
In Wirral, the story trail launched at Birkenhead Park by the Foundation Years Trust working in partnership with Koala North West, Wirral Council, Wirral Libraries who attended the launch event with a mask-making activity session, and Tranmere Rovers who held an active play session with families.
The story trail in Wirral is based on a story written by children’s author Rebecca Lewis-Oakes and illustrated by Aaron Cushley, with the theme of trolls. The story trail leads families around the local park as they follow the adventures of Uncle Josh, Mia, Kai and their dog Scruffy.
We are thrilled to announce that we now have a digitised version of the story trail, meaning that all families, carers and early years settings can download the trail to a digital device and carry out the activity whenever works best.
Follow the Foundations Years Trust Facebook page to stay up to date with local updates.
