A TEAM of young volunteers has helped breathe fresh life into an area of a popular Wirral golf course.
Graduates and new sign-ups on the National Citizen Service programme, which is delivered by Wirral Council’s Sports Development Team, visited Arrowe Park Golf Course as part of National Social Action Day.
More than 40 young people painted fences, planted flowers and carried out other improvement work to make the club’s Tri-Golf area more appealing and youth friendly.
The volunteers then held a family fun day with activities including pitch and putt, street golf, an Easter egg hunt, arts and crafts, face painting and bouncy castle.
The young people secured funding from UnLtd, a foundation set up by seven organisations that promote social entrepreneurship.
Mayor of Wirral, Cllr Steve Foulkes, said: "The National Citizen Service programme has been enthusiastically taken up by Wirral’s young people, with help from the Council's Sports Development Team.
"These young people are a real credit to our communities, and to their generation. I would like to congratulate them on their hard work.”
