## Resource

Birkenhead is poised to make history as one of just fifteen UK towns shortlisted for the inaugural UK Town of Culture award — a chance to shine on a national stage and unlock £3 million in government funding for a cultural revival by 2028. More than just cash, locals see this as a powerful opportunity to rewrite the town’s narrative, spotlight its rich heritage and vibrant community spirit, and capitalize on its close ties to Liverpool’s cultural success. Spearheaded by grassroots groups like Future Yard, the bid reflects a “bottom-up” vision, ensuring the benefits ripple across the town — not just in one corner. If Birkenhead wins, it won’t just be celebrated locally — it will prove to the world that resilience, creativity, and community can transform a place, one culture at a time.
