Alder Hey Children's Charity

Who we are

Alder Hey Children's Charity raises vital funds to help make Alder Hey Children's Hospital a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital for the 450,000 patients and families we care for every year. We are inspired by children; they stand at the heart of everything we do, driving us to raise money so the hospital can deliver the best care possible.

Our culture and values

Our values of Courage, Together, Passion and Magic ensure we strive to achieve this every single day.

Courage

We try new things and take risks to innovate and drive forward new ideas. We have the courage to speak up and take a stance. We are accountable, responsive and responsible. We are unstoppable.

Together

We work together as one team, sharing our knowledge and learning. We work in partnership with patients, families, supporters and colleagues. We are respectful, celebrate diversity and empower each other to achieve our aims.

Passion

We are passionate about what we do and why we do it.  We work together to share and grow. We inspire others.

Magic

We are fun, creative and child led. We create special moments, provide little extras and go further for our brave young patients. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Alder Hey Children’s Charity, we strive to create a healthier, happier and fairer future for the 450,000 children and young people we treat each year. We want to ensure that every child and young person grows up feeling a sense of belonging and purpose, and we must play our part in building a more inclusive world, starting with our own organisation.

By respecting and valuing one another’s differences and uniqueness — including those based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation* — we can broaden our reach and impact, achieving amazing things. We strive to ensure everyone feels safe, supported and represented through their employment, progression opportunities, our fundraising and in our communications.

Guided by our values of Courage, Together, Passion and Magic, we work every day towards a fairer, inclusive and brighter future for the diverse communities we serve, including our staff, volunteers, donors, children and young people, families and all those whose lives we touch.
