Construction firms raise thousands for R Charity and the new Royal

AS they transform the Liverpool skyline and build the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital which is set to open in 2017, construction firms are also keen to leave an enduring legacy behind them.

In partnership with R Charity; which is raising £10 million to provide the new Royal with facilities beyond those the NHS can provide; Carillion are fundraising throughout the year, starting with a black tie Burns Night ceilidh dinner which raised over £22,000 for R Charity.

The event opened with a traditional piping in of the haggis, and dancers in kilts took their partners to the sound of a 4 piece Ceilidh band from Glasgow.

The Burns Night fundraiser will be followed by a spring event, a summer ball and an autumn fundraiser for R Charity too, all organised by construction firm Carillion and their subcontractors.

Simon Webb, Carillion managing director for the new Royal, said:- "As well as building a wonderful new Royal, we are determined to leave a lasting legacy in this city with our committed fundraising programme in partnership with R Charity."

Andrew Shankland, project leader for contractors Astins, said:- "Given our proud Scottish heritage, we were keen to share our Burns Night celebrations with our fellow contractors at the Royal and raise money for R Charity too."

Alison Valentine, Carillion community regeneration manager, said:- "Since the new Royal is now a very real part of the city landscape, we are determined to play our part in the regeneration of this city and raise vital funds for R Charity too."


Lauren Davies, corporate partnerships manager at R Charity, said:- "We are very proud to be working in partnership with Carillion and Astins, and we are delighted with their generous donation to R Charity and continuing fundraising programme to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and improved patient comfort in the new Royal."
