CHARITIES
Alder Hey Children’s Charity raises vital funds to help make Alder Hey Children’s Hospital a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital for the hundreds of thousands of patients and families we care for every year.
Since April 2013, our supporters have helped us raise over £56m for a range of life-saving medical equipment and facilities that are making a real difference to families every day. Our charity recently launched its MediCinema Appeal to raise funds for a brand new cinema right here in our hospital. A trip to the local cinema is something we take for granted – an experience that all the family can take part in. But it is something that many of our long-term patients are unable to experience due to their complex health issues. Our new cinema will allow them to experience the latest blockbuster releases along with their siblings and friends, all from the safety of our hospital. The cinema will be equipped with space for wheelchair access, beds and medical equipment, as well as being adorned with brightly coloured theatre seats. There’s even a magical entrance decorated with movie props, rainbow floors and themed décor, creating a truly immersive movie experience for all our young patients.
With the warmer months upon us, we know that our all our amazing supporters will be out taking strides to raise money for our MediCinema appeal, giving our brave young patients the gift of the movies! All runners who choose to support Alder Hey Children’s Charity will receive a fully branded unique running box which includes a technical t-shirt/vest.
Get in touch today and join our fantastic team of supporters.
Thanks,

Liverpool Women’s Hospital Charity
Putting patients first is at the heart of everything we do. Liverpool Women's Hospital Charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales – registration number 1048294.
The charity works hard to raise funds on behalf of the Trust to enhance overall patient experience by providing services and equipment above what is normally funded by the NHS. These enhancements make a big difference to the comfort and wellbeing of our patients.
We fund initiatives and projects for our neonatal service, our gynaecology oncology service, our fertility service, our maternity fund and for the general priorities of our hospital.
We also fund schemes for staff welfare and wellbeing, improving facilities and space to make Liverpool Women’s Hospital the best it can be.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is the only charity dedicated to supporting patients, research and staff at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.
It's thanks to our supporters that we can achieve so much for local people with cancer, which may not be possible through NHS funding alone.
The money we raise allows us to fund life-saving research, invest in leading technology, enhance the patient environment and enable innovations in care.
Together we can make a real difference to the lives of those who need us.

Claire House Children’s Hospice helps seriously & terminally ill children live life to the full, creating wonderful memories & bringing back a sense of normality to family life.
Through specialist nursing & emotional support Claire House helps families smile when life couldn’t get any tougher, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Claire House is about far more than just care.
It is a place for children to relax and enjoy themselves, whatever their age.
They can have fun in our multi-sensory room, art room, hydrotherapy pool and jacuzzi. There is a separate wing complete with bar, sound system and Xbox for teenagers and young adults.
We support over 300 families across Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales, but more children are coming to Claire House than ever before – an 84% increase in six years – and we can no longer cope with demand.
With every day that passes, another family struggles on without the help they so desperately need.
We want to be there whenever and wherever families need help - your support can help us to increase the care we offer families in their homes and help more children at our hospice. If you're interested in fundraising for Claire House, please get in touch with the Events Team.

Fundraising for our charity allows us to deliver a wide range of support within our communities, which so far have included a dementia support group for those recently diagnosed with young onset dementia, an online training tools for starting the conversation on suicide and worry bears to support the wellbeing of children in care - and of course there is so much more that we'd like to do.

The North West Air Ambulance Charity’s helicopters and HEMS response vehicles operate 365 days a year, with highly skilled specialist doctors and HEMS paramedics on board providing enhanced pre-hospital care and hospital transfers to patients across the entire North West region each year – an area covering 5,500 square miles and over 8 million people.
Since it launched in 1999, the charity has been called to over 24,500 missions across the region, with the service called out an average of three times a day.
Just as many critically injured patients would not survive without the service that the charity provides, the North West Air Ambulance would not be here without the support of its community of fundraisers and partners. The charity is completely reliant on public and corporate donations to keep the North West Air Ambulance Charity service operational and helping to save lives, needing to raise over £9.5 million a year to support its lifesaving service.
For more information on the North West Air Ambulance Charity please contact Charlotte Carnell on charlotte.carnell@nwairambulance.org.uk
