Driving Innovation Through Charitable Partnership
At Alder Hey, innovation is not just a goal — it’s a collective mission. Our partnership with Alder Hey Children’s Charity is at the heart of this mission, enabling groundbreaking ideas to come to life and ensuring every child receives the very best in care, treatment, and experience.
Through strategic charitable funding and generous public donations, the charity plays a crucial role in accelerating pioneering projects across the Trust. Together, we’re building a healthier future for children, powered by innovation.
Funding What Matters Most
From cutting-edge research into childhood cancer, inflammatory diseases and respiratory conditions to the development of digital health platforms, the charity’s impact is felt across every corner of Alder Hey.
Charitable support helps us attract and retain world-class clinical and research talent — individuals whose expertise is key to unlocking new treatments and transforming care. Whether it’s supporting early-stage trials or investing in the next generation of health technology, this funding ensures progress where it’s needed most.
Putting Families at the Centre
Our collaboration with the charity goes beyond funding — it’s about listening. Together, we identify challenges directly from patients and families, then co-design practical, high-impact solutions.
Little Hearts at Home, for example — a remote monitoring programme for children with heart conditions, developed in partnership with families and part-funded by the British Heart Foundation. It’s a model of patient-led innovation, enabled by charitable support.
Building Powerful Partnerships
Through the charity, we also connect with corporate partners who share our vision. These collaborations bring in additional investment, expertise and awareness, helping to scale innovations and bring them to life faster.
From local businesses across Liverpool to national brands, every partnership plays a part in shaping a better future for children’s health.
