Heartwarming Contributions: Local Firm Raises £110,000 for NHS Charities
In a remarkable display of community spirit and generosity, Sutcliffe, a Liverpool-based civil and structural engineering firm, successfully raised £110,000 during its annual Spring Charity Ball held at the Titanic Hotel’s Rum Warehouse. This event not only highlighted the solidarity within the local business community but also underscored the importance of supporting vital healthcare charities.
A Night of Purpose and Remembrance
The charity ball brought together clients, partners, and members of the business community to support three significant NHS charities: Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, Liverpool Women’s Hospital Charity, and University Hospitals of Liverpool Charity. A moving moment during the evening honored Sue Wright, whose experience with Clatterbridge Cancer Centre inspired a substantial donation from Matt Morris of Home Bargains. Her partner, Faisal Arif, paid tribute to her legacy, emphasizing the impact of her kindness and dedication on those around her.
Community Commitment Shines Through
Sean Keyes, CEO of Sutcliffe, expressed his pride in the construction industry's generosity. “Every year I come away from the Spring Ball genuinely moved by the generosity of the people in the construction industry. Our clients, partners, and friends across the industry give their time, their money, and their enthusiasm to causes that matter enormously to the lives of ordinary people in this city,” he remarked.
Keyes also highlighted the essential work performed by the charities, stating, “Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, Liverpool Women’s Hospital Charity, and University Hospitals of Liverpool Charity are doing vital, often invisible work to ensure patients receive the best possible care.” This commitment to the community showcases the ethical responsibility that Sutcliffe and its partners feel towards the healthcare sector.
The Power of Collective Efforts
The night was made possible thanks to the support from various sponsors, including headline sponsor Austin Wilkinson Demolition, alongside contributions from Layer Surveys, Butterworth Spengler, Fox IT, and others. Their collective efforts exemplify how local businesses can collaborate to make a significant impact, fostering a culture of philanthropy that can inspire others.
The success of this event is a testament to the strength and compassion of the Liverpool community, proving that together, we can achieve remarkable things in support of those who need it most.
