Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine is delighted to be the Chamber’s Charity of the Year for 2023-24 – and we are especially proud to have been selected in our 125th anniversary year.

LSTM enjoys a longstanding relationship with the Chamber, and both organisations have a shared commitment to innovation and opportunity in our city-region. Our feature piece in this edition of Well Connected illuminates how LSTM is playing a key role in progressing Liverpool’s mission to be a leader in research and development, and our ambitions to broaden opportunities to access postgraduate education in our region.

Last month, we were extremely proud to be shortlisted as ‘University of the Year’ in the Times Higher Education Awards – commonly known as the ‘Oscars for Higher Education’. We’re the only North West institution in the running, and we look forward to finding out if we’ve won the top prize at a special awards ceremony in Liverpool in December.

This latest recognition is testament to the incredible impact that LSTM make - both here in Liverpool and across the world.

For instance, LSTM played a crucial role in the global effort to combat COVID-19, with involvement in the development of the Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine, diagnostic tests, and potential treatments, as well as encouraging vaccine uptake across Liverpool. The institution’s research on neglected tropical diseases, including snakebite, as well as infectious diseases like malaria, HIV and tuberculosis, has led to groundbreaking advancements in prevention and treatment. In addition to its research, LSTM remains dedicated to training the next generation of global health leaders through our prestigious postgraduate education programmes.

We are tremendously excited to attend the Chamber’s Innovation in Business Awards 2023, and proud to be shortlisted for the Community Impact Award and Business of the Year Award.

November marks LSTM’s 125th anniversary, and as part of our celebrations we are launching The Founders’ Circle; a group of 125 ‘founding’ donors each pledging a minimum of £1,000 towards LSTM’s 125th Anniversary Campaign.

The Founders’ Circle is made up of individuals and organisations, and we are hoping that during the Charity of the Year partnership members will support the initiative. Funds raised from Chamber members via this initiative and through other Chamber events will contribute towards our vital work, and particularly towards our aim to offer more scholarship opportunities for students from the North West region to access our outstanding postgraduate education programmes.

If you would like to join the Founders’ Circle, pledges can be fulfilled either as a one-off donation or as part of a fundraising initiative within your organisation.

Our team will be delighted to speak to Chamber members at the Innovation in Business Awards about how you can support LSTM in its 125th anniversary year. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Stacey Lavery, LSTM’s Senior Philanthropy Manager, is happy to chat any time about how LSTM can work together with Chamber members.
