Events extravaganza! Our fantastic supporters! Over two days in the middle of July a group of hardy people really showed their support for LHCH Charity – in the wind and the rain they managed some amazing feats to show just how much the hospital and our care for people with heart and lung disease means to them. The Anglican Cathedral Abseil Abseiling down one of the world’s tallest non-spired church buildings is not for the faint hearted but that’s what a group of 15 hardy souls did. The weather was not auspicious for leaping off a 150ft tall building - with a fair wind and steady drizzle but still they did it and, believe it or not, some of them wanted to go up and do it again! The Tough Mudder Challenge Covering 10K and 22 different, and frankly terrifying, obstacles 12 determined LHCH staff took part in the Heaton Park Tough Mudder on a rainy Manchester Sunday. From the Block Ness Monster where teams have to work together to move a 500lb block to the Augustus Gloop where runners are blasted with a fire hose while they climb up an enclosed tube – to say it was a challenge is something of an understatement. Five hours later they emerged, mud covered, exhausted and somewhat battered and bruised but triumphant. They also managed to raise the absolutely amazing sum of £3,000 for LHCH Charity If you, your workmates or family and friends want to be a part of next years action best let us know now as we already have a waiting list! Altogether they raised a magnificent £5,490 for LHCH Charity and we can’t thank them enough for conquering their fears and being brave enough to undertake one of our most demanding challenges. 10 - Spotlight Autumn/Winter 2023 Spotlight Autumn/Winter 2023 - 11
Dare you join us for Fright Night On Saturday 28th October a group of hardy LHCH Supporters and keen ghost hunters (including two quite nervous LHCH Charity Team Members) will be exploring the site of the former Newsham Park Hospital, reputedly one of the most haunted areas in the North-West! This sprawling Victorian Grade II listed building in Liverpool now lies derelict but has been the site of an orphanage, hospital, asylum and nursing home during its 138-year history. Boarded up and surrounded by perimeter fencing, we have 99,000 sq. ft of terrifying corridors and rooms to explore as we enter this building in search of the ghostly inhabitants that still reside here. Your entry fee of £30 includes use of ghost hunting equipment including EMF Meters, ghost hunting vigils and experiments such as table tipping and seances. So, will you take on the challenge with us? You can find out more and sign up by clicking the link below or you can give us a call on 0151 600 1409. Look forward to seeing you there! Click here to get your tickets! Click here to visit our Christmas Shop! Well, it’s coming up to that time of year again (where does the time go!) and we are enclosing our Christmas Catalogue for 2023. We have a beautiful selection of cards for you to choose from, all with good quality cards and envelopes and we have even managed to hold the price again for this year – so very good value. Why not take a browse and get your order in now. Last year we had sold out of our most popular ones by the end of September and although we have ordered more stock this year, we would hate you to be disappointed!
