Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership has been awarded the Social Value Award

The Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership LIFT scheme (LSHP) has been a success story of the LIFT programme having developed 15 buildings, several of them iconic in the local landscape.

LSHP has for a long time worked to make its buildings a part of the local communities, which are typically in disadvantaged areas, with spaces within the buildings being made available for community groups and fundraising activities.

In recent years, LSHP has worked with its management services provider to establish an ESG foundation with dedicated budgets to support initiatives in or around the health centres benefitting the local communities.

In 2021, this included BBGI working with the management service provider, supporting the local Sea Cadets with their ‘On the Water’ programme, targeted at children from the local communities with disadvantaged backgrounds or disabilities identified as ‘hard-to-reach’. These children were given the opportunity to take part in water-based activities during the summer that they would not normally have access to and LSHP then provided sponsorship for an awards ceremony to celebrate the achievements of the participants alongside their families and local dignitaries.

LSHP have been awarded the Cheshire and Merseyside Social Value Award. The Cheshire and Merseyside Social Value Award aims to help organisations to achieve their staff and volunteer recruitment and retention strategy, deliver Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Social Value and recognises organisations as an ‘Anchor Institution’. mersycare
