Festival in memory of Joseph

A community event in memory of murdered teenager Joseph Lappin is to be held in Old Swan.  Army cadet Joseph was the victim of a knife attack in October 2008 as he attended an event at Shrewsbury House. His family are keen to raise awareness of gun and knife crime and the effects it has on all concerned.  Joseph had clear ideas on what he wanted to do with his life and was already taking steps to make sure he fulfilled his dreams. The Joseph Lappin Foundation has been established to raise funds to help other young people achieve their dreams.  And the Joseph Lappin Centre is a facility with a community led café incorporated, providing a wide range of activities for all ages. An annual festival is held to raise funds for the foundation and centre. This year's event will be held at Doric Park, on Sunday, 17 May, from 12 to 5pm. It will feature live music from local bands and solo artists, a beach complete with deck chair, dance troupes, donkey rides , circus skills, football, dodgeball and a lot, lot more. "There really is something for everybody at the festival. Many of those taking part have given their services free. As well as being a great day out it will raise funds for the Foundation and centre named in honour of Joseph and will help young people make something of their lives as he was striving to do." said Joseph's mother, Toni.

Homeless hound with dinosaur marking hoping her chances of find a happy home are not extinct

DOGS Trust Merseyside is appealing for dog loving dinosaur enthusiasts to help find a loving home for a very special dog. 18 month old Terrier, named Jessie, has a unique white marking on her chest in the shape of a dinosaur which really surprised staff when she first arrived at the Rehoming Centre. She is looking for a loving family of her own who will take her digging for fossils to her heart's content.

Dogs Trust Merseyside Supporter Relations Officer, Aimee Best explains;- "We were stunned when we spotted the white marking on her chest which looks just like a dinosaur. That's where the similarity between Jessie and a Velociraptor ends as she is such a sweet natured, fun-loving girl who adores people and loves to play. She is looking for experienced terrier owners and would prefer to be the only pet in the home so that she can enjoy all your attention to herself."

Aimee adds:- "We are hoping her special marking may appeal to dog loving dinosaur fans as she is a very skilled and enthusiastic digger and is often digging for bones so we wouldn't be surprised if she found a T- Rex fossil one day. With the new Jurassic Park film due shortly we are hoping that as fans are unable to adopt a real dinosaur Jessie will be the next best thing"

If you are interested in rehoming a dog please call our Merseyside Rehoming Centre:- 0300 303 0292 or visit:- DogsTrust.Org.UK.
