On Thursday a group of Year 9 students attended a County lines awareness event hosted by Merseyside Police and the LFC Foundation.

Students heard talks from the Police, NHS and lived experience from Angela Preston.

Students then took part in 4 workshops.

A VR county lines simulation experience delivered by Everton in the community; a workshop around the dangers of county lines including lived experience by Catch 22; a talk around the dangers of ketamine use by River and a business talk from the owners of Block P, owned by two young men from Liverpool who were once at risk of becoming involved in county lines.

Students then submitted questions for a panel of celebrity guests, including Jamie Webster, Tony Bellew, Phillip McGuinness and Jessica Gagan.
Each school had to choose a stand out student of the day with the winner being awarded a voucher of up to £100 to spend at Block P. Our deserving winner was Sienna!
