Summary of Spacecare’s Kindness to the Maghull Community.
Spacecare have provided three invaluable community resources in consecutive years, whilst on behalf of LCP they provide immaculate and professional maintenance services in and around Maghull’s main supermarket, for our enormously grateful community.
Spacecare following contact from FOMD have generously and altruistically provided three consecutive years of charity support to the Maghull community. In 2021, they provided stunning foundation for our beautiful rhinoceros recycling installation. In 2022, they created an invaluable and much needed short path to connect Morrisons car park with the medical centre to prevent further injuries to our vulnerable residents. Whilst in 2023, they installed our community noticeboard to help keep the whole community connected following the loss of the only community newspaper that was circulated weekly to 160,000 homes.
FOMD on behalf of our community are enormously grateful for Spacescare’s generous altruism which is highlighted in more detail below.
In 2019, the Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) started the Stafford Moreton Way Crowd Funded Ecology Project, in Maghull’s highest footfall area, raising £6500 to transform this area whilst also raising awareness and inspiring ecological issues related to recycling, endangered wildlife and signposting to local underused green resources. In recent years the landowners LCP subcontracted Spacecare to manage their local properties. Their maintenance work has consistently been of a high standard and the kindness to our community over the last three years has been invaluable.
2021 Created a Stunning Complimentary Foundation for Our Recycling Installation. We were overwhelmed by Spacecare’s charitable supply and installation of this wonderful foundation for our crowd funded life-sized galvanised mesh steel plastic recycling rhinoceros, which serves as a daily reminder in our town’s highest footfall to highlight plastic recycling and endangered wildlife, whilst providing a beautiful art installation.

- Creation of a Short & Desperately Needed Connecting Pathway.
In response to a charity request by FOMD, Space Care generously installed a desperately needed paved path between Morrisons and the Medical Centre car parks in Maghull.
It had been widely reported that the medical centre’s car park had been overwhelmed resulting in dangerous parking on pavements or parking in Morrisons car park. Leading to huge concerns that vulnerable patients (e.g. wheelchairs, prams, disabled) either dangerously walking in the road due to pavement parking or risking injury walking across the sloping slippy grass verge between the car parks. Many people reported injuries, including an elderly gentleman who explained that he had actually broken his ankle en-route to visiting the Medical Centre!
Consequently, the creation of this connecting pathway was an absolute godsend for our community. Thank you for funding this community resource for free.

Thank you for your good humour in agreeing to emulate the Beatles Abbey Road picture.
2023. The Installation of A New Maghull Noticeboard To Keep Everyone Connected to Our Community.
FOMD would like to express our huge gratitude to Spacecare for their free installation of our community ecology noticeboard, as part of our crowd funded Stafford Moreton Way Wildflower Ecology Project. We hope this high footfall area noticeboard will keep everyone, particularly the elderly, connected to our community.
We are immensely grateful to Josh (installer), Ian Robertson (Contracts Manager) Vicky Poole (Senior Contracts Manager) and Chris Hicks (MD) from the local and national property maintenance company (Spacecare).
The noticeboard is the final component of the crowd funded Stafford Moreton Way transformation, which started in 2019. The noticeboard will explain the project, educate the community about recycling, endangered wildlife ecology, and signpost the community to local underused nature resources (e.g. Jubilee Wood, Roughly Wood, Lunt Meadows) and keep the community connected, particularly the surprising large amount of those who are not connected to local social media.
