Liverpool Chamber CEO Paul Cherpeau said: “The imminent opening of the new Royal Liverpool Hospital is an exciting moment for the city and its ongoing commitment to provide outstanding health care provision to our citizens. I am delighted that the Chamber will be supporting the objectives of the University Hospital’s Charity in the year ahead, raising funds and generating business engagement and opportunities for collaboration.” “We remain committed to ensuring all our third sector organisations are connected with suppliers and partners across our network. I would like to acknowledge the charity partners for the past year – Clatterbridge and Everton in the Community – for their collaboration with us and I look forward to an exciting partnership with the Liverpool University Hospitals Charity in the year ahead.”

Our fundraising for both charities aligned with the aims of the Team Liverpool City Plan, of which Liverpool Chamber are the private sector partner, with the aims of tackling health inequalities, and responding to what matters most to people in terms of improving their health and wellbeing across all stages of life – Starting Well, Living Well and Ageing Well.

Aimée Clare, Fundraising Development Manager at Liverpool University Hospitals Charity: “We feel extremely excited to be Liverpool Chambers 2022 Charity Partner in what will be an exciting year for us as a charity and a hospital trust. As we move into our new hospital, we will continue our endeavour to raise funds to support our patients and our incredible staff that care for them.”

Significant funds were raised at three major events: The Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, our inaugural Innovation in Business Awards, and Liverpool Chamber’s Day at the Randox Grand National Thursday. Colleagues from Liverpool Chamber also supplemented this income, with our head of membership and business growth Tom Woolley undertaking an “Apprentice” challenge as part of his Help to Grow course with University of Liverpool, and events

“Funds raised throughout our partnership will be invested into innovation to support our intentions to have world class equipment and services to treat and save more lives. I look forward to working collaboratively with new and existing connections to help us achieve incredible things, so If you think your organisation could contribute and support our endeavour in any way, please get in touch because it would be great to talk to you.”
