The news is full of worrying stories about world climate change. Sefton Council has called a climate emergency but without any clear outcomes. Maghull has lost over 350 mature trees due to ongoing Ash dieback (killing 90% of the U.K.’s second most populous tree) and Dutch Elm disease in the last three years. Nearly every green space is being considered for housing with minimal restoration for nature. Maghull has unique flooding problems which are not addressed.

With your support we have achieved some unbelievable nationally recognised environmental and social outcomes for Maghull but we still need your magnificent support as we only had one volunteer today and although she is amazing there is only so much we can achieve with two people. Our one-hour initiative to help Maghull to be a better place to live has been ongoing since October 2022. Should you be interested there is absolutely no commitment and people can dip in and out around their busy lives whenever they want. You will always receive a warm welcome and leave with the warm satisfaction that you have made a difference. Please help or simply spread the word to others who might be interested.

For more information about our projects and future events (planned a week in advance around the weather forecast) please visit www.fomd.co.uk and see the events section. Our next planned sessions will be on Tuesday (25.7.23) 11:00 hours & Sunday (30.7.23) 0900hrs at Woodend, neighbouring Bumbles Children’s Nursery – check ‘events’by  for everything you need

Our new kind Maghull Town Council leaders (pictured) who were generously leading by example and somehow found time between their full-time jobs, council responsibilities and busy family lives to gratefully squeeze in one hour (not for the first time) to help ‘our environment’, on Sunday (9.7.23), filling another agricultural bag of ground elder weeds making a grand total of 21 bags since the beginning of June when we started refocusing on the Woodend Project.
