Bite-by-Bite: A Food Coaching Course for Parents

Delamere Community Centre, Eastham - Monday 6th July 2026 (9.30am - 2.15pm)

"It’s not just 'picky eating.' It’s a daily battle that most people don’t see." 🤍

If you are a parent or carer navigating the stress of sensory issues, food anxiety, or ARFID, we want you to know: You are not alone.

We are so grateful to Merseyside Women of the Year for featuring our new workshop, Bite by Bite. Designed by a parent who truly "gets it," this course isn’t about "perfect nutrition." It’s about the complex relationship our children have with food and the immense societal pressure we feel as parents to "fix it."

We’ve created a safe, judgment free space to tackle these challenges together. Read more about the heart behind this project in the full MWOTY article here:

Help keep vulnerable people safe in the heat 🌞

Stay out of the direct sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours.

Drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol during the hot weather. 🫗

Heading into a sunny bank holiday weekend with friends? Make SPF one of your BFFs. 🫶🌞
UV can damage your skin and increase the risk of skin cancer, but it also helps your body produce vitamin D. So it’s all about enjoying the sunshine safely when UV levels are high.

There’s so much happening at half term to keep the kids busy, active and smiling.

Whether your family loves live shows like Justin Fletcher at the Floral Pavilion, exciting dinosaur adventures, or the thrill of live wrestling, there are plenty of big days out to look forward to.

If you’re after something a bit more relaxed, you can enjoy puppet shows at the library, a cosy Teddy Bear’s Picnic, or get creative with arts and crafts. And for those with lots of energy to burn, there’s everything from family swims and sports sessions to fun activities at local leisure centres. ⚽🏊

Whatever your plans, there’s something for every age and interest right here in Wirral.

With warm weather forecast this weekend and into next week, more of us will enjoy spending time in, on, or around water, so it’s important to stay safe.

Almost half (47%) of UK accidental drownings happen between May and August, with higher risks during warmer weather.

Keep yourself and your family safe:
• Check for hazards, including depth, currents, tides, and hidden underwater objects.
• Stay together and swim in lifeguarded areas.

In an emergency:
• Call 999 immediately
• If you fall in or become tired, stay calm, float on your back, and call for help

Tips for coping in hot weather

* look out for those who may struggle to keep themselves cool and hydrated – older people, those with underlying health conditions and those who live alone are particularly at risk

* stay cool indoors – many of us will need to stay safe at home this summer so know how to keep your home cool

* close curtains on rooms that face the sun to keep indoor spaces cooler and remember it may be cooler outdoors than indoors

* drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol

* never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children or animals

* try to keep out of the sun between 11am to 3pm

* walk in the shade, apply sunscreen regularly and wear a wide brimmed hat, if you have to go out in the heat

* avoid exercising in the hottest parts of the day

* make sure you take water with you, if you are travelling

* if you are going into open water to cool down, take care and follow local safety advice
