Liverpool Chamber is pleased to announce its Charity of the Year for 2009 - Nugent Care.

As the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Charity of the Year, Nugent Care will have unrivalled access to the Liverpool business community and will receive the focus of the Chamber’s corporate charitable donations.

The charity is one of the oldest, largest and most diverse in the city and specialises in providing care for vulnerable children and adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs and social problems. Its services include support for homeless people, a drug intervention service, volunteering schemes, support for Deaf people and a material aid project supporting people in financial need.

Jack Stopforth, Chief Executive of Liverpool Chamber of Commerce commented: “The Chamber’s staff panel felt very strongly that Nugent Care and Liverpool Chamber could gain a great deal from working in partnership, not just in terms of fundraising, although I hope that we will be able to do plenty of that! But we also hope that the relationship will be fruitful in terms of offering a wide range of volunteering opportunities to Chamber staff and enabling Nugent Care to develop relationships throughout the city’s business community.”

Director of Business Development at Nugent Care, Paul Doocey, said:

“It’s a great privilege for Nugent Care to be the first Chamber Charity of the Year and I’m absolutely delighted by the news. The opportunity to work with Liverpool Chamber is extremely exciting for us and during the current economic climate, it is perhaps more important than ever for charities and businesses to work together.”

With the Christmas season well underway, the ‘Stop Abuse’ campaign has been launched across the North West.

It aims to raise awareness of the violence and aggression that is directed at ambulance staff across the North West, reinforcing the message that it will not be tolerated.

The ‘Stop Abuse’ Campaign is believed to be the biggest anti-violence initiative of its kind and unique in its partnership with the Pubwatch scheme across the region. It will operate in Blackpool, Carlisle, Chester, Liverpool and Manchester, following a highly successful trial in Liverpool in December 2007.

Under the ‘Stop Abuse’ campaign any individual who launches a verbal or physical attack on an ambulance crew member will be banned from all Pubwatch member premises in that area, regardless of whether or not police action is taken. The aims are to both raise awareness of the unacceptable behaviour towards ambulance staff, and punish perpetrators who commit such offences.
