We understand how important it is for children to have the opportunity to play and be creative, even when they are poorly. Last year you helped us fund over £100,000 towards the provision of Play Specialists, resources, art and craft materials and toys for patients, as well as presents and festivities for families at Christmas. This year we are building a cinema!

Our amazing NHS clinicians work around the clock to treat over 1200 children and young people every day at Alder Hey. We are committed to supporting our NHS Foundation Trust to purchase the very latest equipment. In 2022 a grant of £400,000 was used to purchase high end precision telemedicine robots, enabling specialist expertise to be accessed remotely for complex clinical cases.

Last year donations totalling £40,000 helped our Innovation team to develop apps to support our NHS Trust. Through developing these apps, the team have also discovered new ways to utilise the technology in the future. By re-purposing and re-developing the apps, based on the templates built, the funding will continue to have a long-term impact at Alder Hey.
