Message from our CEO
Wirral Multicultural Organisation supports people from Ethnic Minority Backgrounds, who require support with accessing and effectively using mainstream services. The pandemic highlighted the health inequalities and low health literacy amongst people from Ethnic Minority Backgrounds. As we emerged from the pandemic, we saw an increase in numbers of people needing support, and with this, the demand for language support, not only in the volume of interpretations, but also in the number of different languages spoken. service users’ needs are often complex and we regularly provide support where there is food and white goods requests where these are important for wellbeing. WMO has been able to respond flexibly to the complexity of people’s needs, and the everincreasing numbers, e.g., by staff working longer hours and going the extra mile, to ensure as far as we can, that there are positive outcomes for service users. We have seen an increase in the number services we deliver, such as the health check project and an extension to our Ethnic Minority Health and Well-Being team (previously known as BCCS) This team has been instrumental in ensuring that all Asylum Seekers are registered with a GP Practice, registering births, sourcing dentists willing/able to take on new patients and in helping Asylum Seekers to navigate their way round the wider health system so that they know for example how to access Optician services and ways in which a Pharmacy can help them. It has been a time where we have been building partnerships with organisations, to deliver services that are taking the cultural and language needs of service users into consideration. There are several, very productive, partnerships involving a range of other organisation; some are structured formally and others involve informal collaboration where this gets the service users a better outcome. As an example, one of those partnerships was the Little Lungs Project; 6 organisations, with Koala NW as the lead, were funded to raise awareness of RSV in young children. The project was extended for another year to look at other respiratory infections and conditions in children under 5 years old. I feel humbled and privileged to work with such dedicated staff and volunteers. Without our skilled and passionate staff and volunteers, we would not be able to provide a seamless service for all our service users. I would like to acknowledge that the work and success is also due to the generous financial support, provided by agencies and grant funders. If you would like to know a little more about the services we provide, please look on our website, or ask Aline, Mindy, or Elizabeth, we are happy to talk to you, about the fantastic work we do.

WIRRAL MULTICULTURAL ORGANISATION IMPACT REPORT
ABOUT WIRRAL MULTICULTURAL ORGANISATION
Wirral Multicultural Organisation (WMO) is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (registered number 02807273) . The company is a registered charity (charity number 1019964).
Brief history of the (WMO)
The concept of a multicultural centre for Wirral began in 1986 when members from Asian, Chinese and Vietnamese communities jointly applied for central government funds with the help of Wirral Borough Council. This led to the formation of the Wirral Chinese Association and the Vietnamese Association whereas the Wirral Asian Association had developed independently. The then Education Department of Wirral Council applied to central government and was successful.
Wirral Multicultural Organisation (WMO) was established as a company limited by guarantee and as a registered charity in April 1993 to oversee the development of the Multicultural Centre. The three associations used to nominate three representatives each, to serve as directors to form board of the Wirral Multicultural Organisation. Since 1992, thirteen directors, three each from ethnic associations and four Wirral Councillors have been managing the organisation.
More recently Wirral Multicultural Organisation has widened its board membership and incorporated African, Afro-Caribbean and European (currently vacant). Opening up for other community representatives will reflect the increasingly diverse population of Wirral.
Although the demographics in Wirral have changed, the needs of people from Ethnic Minority Backgrounds have largely stayed the same. We have seen more asylum seekers and refugees, people who’ve fled conflict from countries such as Afghanistan and Ukraine and British Nationals Oversees (BNO) Hong-Kongers.

WH AT OUR SERVICE USERS H ~~AVE~~
Amina is severely disabled, and she needed a number of specific items, to make her life easier. We worked closely with Age UK Wirral, who purchased a special mattress. It was such a pleasure to see her smile. She came to the centre after the mattress had arrived and she said that she had slept like a baby, and this was the first time for a very long time, she slept without being in pain, from springs digging into her back.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS HAVE SAID
“In my experience working with Aline, I have been consistently impressed by her attention to detail, her empathetic approach when engaging with diverse communities , and her ability to adapt to evolving project requirements. Her proactive approach and innovative thinking have been invaluable in ensuring that the voices of those supported by Wirral Multicultural Organisation are heard and respected”.
Dr Abhi Mantgani MBBS, LRCP LRCS, FRCGP, Senior Executive Partner, Miriam Primary Care Group:
“WMO was the first community to commence work with us and we have conducted multiple vaccination sessions at their site in Birkenhead delivering over 1,500 injections. The WMO worked very effectively as partners with our team to deliver a person-centred service with translators, key workers involved in the process. The outcome has been a very high uptake of the Covid vaccination with improved outcomes. WMO has also supported our practice with Covid test kits during times of short stocks”.
