Our Men’s Group enjoyed a fantastic day out in Formby today, exploring the beautiful woodland and keeping our eyes peeled for the famous red squirrels.

Unfortunately, the squirrels were very shy and we didn’t manage to spot any! 🐿️🙈 But that certainly didn’t stop us from having a brilliant time. We enjoyed getting outdoors, taking in the scenery, having plenty of laughs and spending time together.

Sometimes it’s not about what you see, but the memories you make along the way! 💙

A great day with a great group of men — we’re already looking forward to the next adventure!

We are incredibly saddened to have received, and to have witnessed, some of the hateful and discriminatory comments on yesterday’s post about attending Wirral Pride.

Pride is about love, acceptance, equality and celebrating who we are. Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and welcome, regardless of their sexuality, gender, race, religion or background.

We want to make it absolutely clear that we will not tolerate hate or discrimination on our page. Any comments that are hateful, abusive or discriminatory will be removed.

We will always stand for kindness, inclusivity and equality. 🏳️‍🌈

To everyone who shared their support, kindness and positivity — thank you. It means more than you know.

Love will always be louder than hate. ❤️

🌈☀️ Celebrating Love, Pride & Togetherness at Wirral Pride🏳️‍🌈

What a fantastic day for our LGBTQ+ group, enjoying the sunshine, celebrating who we are, and sharing plenty of smiles, laughter and wonderful memories. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We’re proud to stand together in support of equality, acceptance and being yourself 🌈✨
