Award-winning charity the Big Help Project is challenging high-interest retail outlets with the opening of their new flagship Homes with Style store in Derby Road, Huyton.

The new store will offer customers an alternative to the traditional rent-to-own market, giving people the opportunity to purchase a wide range of household products at competitive interest rates.

A unique partnership, including the Big Help Project, Knowsley Council, Co-op Electricals and local credit unions, will see credit provided at affordable rates, with no hidden charges and no compulsory warranties.

The store will also be an outlet for Community RePaint, retailing recycled paint to suit all budgets.

Executive chair of the Big Help Project Cllr. Peter Mitchell said: “We are delighted and proud to be bringing our first Homes with Style store to Huyton.

“When people pay high interest rates for household goods, they have little left to pay for essentials such as rent, heating and food.

“It is simply unacceptable for children to be hungry or cold because their parents are paying extortionate prices for televisions, fridges, cookers or furniture.

“Our unique partnership with the Co-op and local credit unions enables us to offer a fantastic range of top-quality household brands to our customer and save them hundreds of pounds at the same time.”

CEO of the Big Help Project Dr Barry Cooper explained: “This store represents an exciting new phase for the Big Help Project, giving people in the local community an opportunity to furnish their home through an ethical credit model with competitive interest rates, no hidden charges or compulsory extras, and a repayment structure that rewards early repayment and sensible borrowing.”

The store will be opening with a formal opening ceremony on Thursday, December 8 at 11am to be attended by the Mayor of Knowsley Cllr. Frank Walsh, Leader of Knowsley Council Cllr. Andy Moorhead and local dignitaries and friends of the Big Help Project.

Remembrance Day 2023: Commemorations and events taking place in Liverpool and Merseyside

Posted: 6 November 2023 | Last updated: 6 November 2023

Armistice Day takes place on November 11 with Remembrance Sunday falling on November 12. Commemoration events will be held around Merseyside.

Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday take place this weekend, with a number of services being hosted in and around Liverpool in honour of those who have given their lives for their country since 1914.

The services commemorate the signing of the Armistice which brought an end to the First World War and remembers those who have fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice for us in conflicts of the past. The day has grown into an annual day of solemn remembrance for those caught up in some of the most horrendous man-made events in human history.

The day is marked on November 11, whilst Remembrance Sunday falls on the Sunday closest to November 11. In 2023, this is Sunday, November 12.

Below are the events being held across Merseyside.

At 11.00am the traditional firing of the gun will signify the start of the two-minute silence, with another firing to mark its conclusion. Following the silence and a traditional wreath laying and service by key civic, military and religious leaders and Cadets, the parade will then march from St George’s Plateau to salute the Cenotaph.
• University of Liverpool service: The University will hold services of remembrance on Friday, November 10 to honour staff and students who died in the First and Second World Wars and other conflicts. A service will take place at the Victoria Gallery and Museum. Attendees should gather near the memorial on the ground floor of the building at 10.30am.
