News and events

Prescot Town Council have once again been pro-active in offering support to the Big Help Project. As the Town Hall must close its doors to members of the public due to the second national lockdown Prescot Town Council have once again linked up with the Big Help Project to support our local residents with food parcels. Our dedicated team of staff and elected members will now provide a valuable food bank service to Prescot residents in their time of need along with providing much needed support to the Big Help Project. Over 300 residents were supported with our food bank during the last lockdown and we are stepping up once again for our community.

If you live in Prescot and cannot afford food please call Knowsley Food Support on 0151 538 8243 or you can email foodbankteam@big-help.info.

 Anyone needing other support can call Knowsley’s COVID 19 Community Support line freephone on 0800 073 0043 from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm at weekends.

Along with many other local businesses Prescot Town Council have had to think differently about the way we work. Our winter coat recycling scheme has proved very popular with our local community over the last few weeks. Having held numerous pop up shops at Prescot Town Hall with many coats being recycled for further use and saved from landfill we have now arranged for the scheme to go online. We have over 200 adults and children’s winter coats to choose from the comfort of your home via the Prescot Town Council Facebook page. If you see a coat that you would like just call or e-mail us with the coat number and your name, address and contact number. We will then reserve the items and arrange for your collection.
