Upcoming LUHFT Charity events to take part in:

It’s been an exciting year for Liverpool University Hospitals Charity, working together closely with Director of Nursing Fiona Murphy, MBE, raising funds to help transform end of life care at LUHFT. As well as establishing new connections and relationships through their Charity Patronship with Liverpool Chamber, Liverpool University Hospitals Charity have raised over £6,000 at various Chamber events throughout the year; A significant amount of this total was raised at our Innovation Awards in November, at our recent Charity Pub Quiz and from donations at our Chamber Day at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament last June. With our Chamber Day at The Races fast approaching, the Charity are hopeful that donations will reach the £10,000 mark, allowing them to invest £4,000 into Dementia Care.

Aimee Clare, Fundraising Development Manager at LUHFT Charity said:

“Donations received this year from Chamber members to help and support our most vulnerable patients and their families at the most difficult time has been incredible. The SWAN model being implemented by Fiona and her team will vastly improve the experience for the patient and their loved ones at an extremely difficult time. It’s just brilliant and heart-warming to know that the money raised this year through our partnership with Liverpool Chamber has contributed towards beautiful memory boxes for our patients and their bereaved families.”

With Liverpool Chamber Day at The Races fast approaching, LUHFT Charity are looking forward to raising more money to improve and enhance dementia care and support for patients and their families across LUHFT. “We are really excited to see how many charity bets are placed and how much they raise at the end of the day…Thank you so much in advice to those attending who choose to support us on the day. Liverpool University Hospitals Charity couldn’t dream of improving care and support for our patients without support like this”

Looking to the future, Liverpool University Hospitals Charity is looking forward to developing opportunities to improve treatment and care for LUHFT patients, their families and incredible staff who care for them with new and existing members and connections. Whilst LUHFT Charity would love to see Liverpool Chamber Members and friends take part in their upcoming events, it’s LUHFT Charity’s hope to work collaboratively In partnership with local companies and individuals to raise funds to improve services and care in a way that aligns with individual objectives, values, and interests.

Aimee said: “A charity partnership is a brilliant way to engage your colleagues in fun activities and events, working together and encouraging each other to raise vital funds that could save, support, or improve the lives of others. We want to ensure that your organisational or personal objectives are taken into consideration when investing time and energy into our charity. We recognise and appreciate the significance of your support and we will be there every step of the way to provide the encouragement and support that you need”
