Established in 1995 to support the work of Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital we have raised millions of pounds to make a difference to the lives of people living with heart and lung disease.
We provide funds so that our dedicated medical staff can have the latest and best equipment to treat our patients. We support the provision of additional facilities for our patients and their familes - such as family rooms and gardens.
We assist with the funding of some of the ground breaking and life changing research that happens here. From providing the latest and best equipment, additional family facilities and supporting research the funds we raise helps to make lives better for thousands of people.
Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is the corporate trustee of the charity. Members of the Trust board and the charitable funds committee act as agents on behalf of the corporate trustee.
The Charitable Funds Committee is responsible for the overall management of the charity, and is required, amongst other responsibilities, to:
Manage the investment of funds in accordance with the Trustees Act 2000.
Ensure that funding decisions are appropriate, consistent with our aims, and provide added value and benefit to patients, their families and our staff.
