Community Foundation for Merseyside The Community Foundation for Merseyside is for donors, for communities and for Merseyside.

Our vision is to help to build stronger communities in Merseyside by addressing the real needs and areas of disadvantage which exist in the region. In 2017 we celebrated 18 years of supporting local communities through connecting donors with the places and causes that they care about.

Good luck Sharon and Juliet, who are taking on Alfie's Squad's Race for a Reason! 🏁

Over the next three days, they'll be criss-crossing the UK raising money for Alfie's Squad, a charity running face-to-face peer support groups for children and young people who have been bereaved by su***de, and for their families.

There's still time to donate and help Alfie's Squad be there for families when they need it most 💙

So how do we Do Business Better? 💛

Rae, David and Kelly spent yesterday at the Do Business Better Conference at Blackburne House finding, a day packed with insight.

We noticed a pattern across a few of the speakers: their businesses were thriving, then they hit a crossroads, and the answer was going back to their roots.

Their stories were a reminder that success feels different when it’s rooted in community, and that local connection isn’t just good for communities, it’s good for business.

If you’re a business thinking about how to give back locally, we’d love to chat.

Thank you to Ellie Kerr and the Merseyside Women of the Year team for bringing everyone together.

“When you coming in then, Paul?”

After a divorce, two years of isolation and a hospital stay, Paul found Sean's Place, a Sefton charity offering free mental health support for men.

“I didn’t think there was a way out. But with the support here, I realised life is worth living.”

In Sefton, two thirds of those who died by su***de between 2022 and 2024 were men. Paul’s story shows what connection can change.

Yesterday we joined the High Sheriff of Merseyside, Hazel Snell, on a visit to local organisations in Knowsley to see how they support young people and families. Our first stop was Vibe UK Org.

In Knowsley, more than half of all neighbourhoods are among the highest in England for unmet youth need. Vibe is helping to fill that gap, and a £1,244 High Sheriffs Trust award is helping young people from Northwood build trust with the police, learn their rights and gain the confidence to lead the conversation, through their own podcast, Vibin' wid Vibe.

Thank you to Helen, Chris and the Vibe team for the energetic welcome.

Almost 1 million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training.

Yesterday, 600+ people packed into Boxpark Liverpool to do something about it. 💙

Raise Up put young people, employers and leaders in one room for a day of honest conversation and practical ideas.

It was a pleasure to be there alongside Football For Change, headline sponsors of the day, to see what happens when a city rallies around its young people. ⚽

Recently, James Proctor and Kelly Roberts visited Aspire's Spinal Centre in Southport to meet Emily and Louise. 💙

Aspire were awarded £10,000 from Pilkington's Charities Fund to help patients with hand and arm paralysis from high-level spinal cord injuries independently access their devices. 🙌
