Our mission is to provide resources which encourage and inspire homeless people to transform their lives.

Wirral Ark is a charity that supports hundreds of people each year who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Through our accommodation, professional services, and a compassionate ear, we help them achieve good and real outcomes for themselves.

Look at this amazing haul from Woodchurch Primary School! Thanks so much to everyone involved in collecting such a fantastic amount of food for our residents.

The chef has promised everyone a curry night as there are so many marvellous jars of curry sauce.

Thanks for helping our residents see that the community around them cares and for helping to put food on our table for them to enjoy.

We're afraid that our feed is full of cute children and Ted without a Bed for the foreseeable future!

We took Arky bear to meet the Rainbows and Brownies at St Andrew's church in Noctorum. They loved meeting him and learning all about Ted. We had some really thoughtful questions about homelessness from the Brownies in particular.

Both packs loved colouring in pictures of Ted that we took along and they are now planning some activities with their own Arky Bear and how they can help us. So heartwarming.

Thanks to the leaders at Rainbows and Brownies for letting us come and speak to your amazing girls.

Do you recognise the man on the left? No, we almost didn't either without his trademark speedos and furry hat!

Luckily Rachel and Lisa from our fundraising team did and grabbed this fantastic photo with Speedomick while they were out promoting our Ted Without a Bed book yesterday.

We could all learn a thing or two from Mick who has been open with his own mental health struggles in the past. He is particularly inspiring when he says that "hope lives in the darkest places", something we aim to be here at Wirral Ark.

One week on from her triumph at Chester Marathon, we 'd like to say a huge thank you to Amanda for raising money for homeless people here on the Wirral.

Amanda had a great result last weekend, taking 15 minutes off her marathon personal best! She completed the Chester Triple which consists of a 10k, half marathon and marathon, all this year.

She and her brother have also raised over £1,000 for Wirral Ark, money which is gratefully received and will go to providing help and support to homeless people to help them rebuild their lives.

Well done, Amanda, you are very inspiring. 👏😍

Ted has been busy getting out and about around the Wirral!

If you are in the Rock Ferry area, then swing by Indigo to see him in their reading corner! It's such an amazing community space with a cafe (with great reviews!) and community spaces for hire. There's so much going on that Ted will love it.

Thanks to Indigo for helping to spread the word about our book and doing great things for the local community. 😃

We're so pleased that Ted Without a Bed is already having such a positive impact in primary schools.

Woodlands Primary School, not only shared Ted's story with the children, they donated all this as part of their harvest festival!

We're so glad that people are getting behind our message of showing kindness and compassion towards others and understanding that homelessness can happen to anyone.

A very BIG thank to Woodlands for their kind donation and for showing homeless people in the Wirral there are people who care.

Christmas Jumpers! Arky doesn't want to feel left out this year so we'd love you to design one for him!

So we are calling on all primary schools again to get involved in our Christmas competition to help design a Christmas jumper for Arky. The winner will get to see their design come to life as the winning designs will be made into jumpers for Arky and for themselves 🤩

Sign up for our competition by emailing us on [email protected] and we can send you a pack to share with your school.

We had an overwhelming response to our Christmas card competition so we would love to match that this year or go even bigger!
