Education
More than 300 children from Speke have taken part in storytelling sessions designed to inspire a love of reading, as new research reveals that reading for enjoyment among 8 – 18 year olds in Speke is at its lowest since 2005 – for almost two decades.*
We absolutely LOVED our headliner at last night’s Guide Liverpool Heroes. 😍
Liverpool’s own music hero, Rebecca Ferguson took to the stage to continue the celebrations for our heroes and to deliver an amazing set at Titanic Hotel.
She’s back in the city on Saturday 6 December, playing her Christmas show at the Philharmonic Hall.
Rach spoke to her about the event and about what it’s that makes this city so special ❤️

Last night the families of Alice, Elise & Bebe were honours at The Guide Liverpool Heroes 💫
The families who lost their little girls in the Southport attacks in July last year were united by a shared tragedy.
Yet out of their despair, they found the strength and courage to create charities and organisations to help other children.
Each offers something different and unique for youngsters in the region, and each of them honours the memory of those in whose name they were created: Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Da Silva Aguiar.
Their parents were given a Special Award at The Guide Liverpool’s Heroes 2025 to recognise the resilience they have shown since the horrendous events of last year, and their determination to make lives better for others.
In her speech on stage Former Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy, who presented the awards, said:
“I am sure that we have all been inspired by what these six amazing people have achieved.
This recognition is reserved for those whose courage, compassion, and unwavering love serve as an inspiration to us all.
On behalf of everyone present, I extend our deepest gratitude for epitomising everything that is brilliant in our communities – we are truly humbled by what you are doing.”
We spoke with Serena following the presentation about her admiration for Alex & Sergio, Jen & David and Lauren & Ben.

The force of nature that is Speedo Mick was crowned City Region Superhero 2025 at The Guide Liverpool Heroes 🦸🏻♂️
He’s raised over £1m for charity during his epic missions and he’s got big plans for the next one!
Mick had no idea he was going to receive an accolade, but the super-fundraiser was typically humble and hilarious as he was presented with it by The Guide founder and awards host Jay Hynd.
Mick Cullen (Speedo Mick) said:
“It’s amazing to be here and that the best felling is the world is giving back, there’s no feeling like it. This room is full of people who give back, so its an honour to be here”
Speedo, aka Mick Cullen, has dedicated the past decade to fundraising for charities and organisations supporting mental health, disadvantaged young people and people who are homeless – all things he’s experienced in his own life.
Mick has just announced that he’ll be teaming up with Olympic gold medallist Fatima Whitbread for a new Polar challenge in February next year in temperatures down to minus 20.
And he’s got Everest base camp planned for later in the year, so there couldn’t be a more worthy winner of the title City Region Superhero.
“When we came up with the categories for Heroes, we knew there were a few that we wanted to surprise on the night,” says Jay.
“With City Region Superhero, for me it was about someone who does incredible things but also fights for what’s right and might have overcome something to take on a big feat, or raise money.
“It’s what we all think of as a superhero put into a Scouser – and the first person that came to mind was Speedo Mick.
“What that guy has done over the years, with the background that he’s had and the things he’s had to overcome himself, is absolutely incredible.
“To raise over £1m so far, and not be stopping yet, he deserves to be our first City Region Superhero.”
