LSHP Foundation was founded in summer 2019. The foundation concentrated on direct donations but also worked with the Heart of England Community Foundation and the Community Foundation for Merseyside. Initially starting at £15,000, the fund aims to support projects focusing on health, education, empowerment, and the raising of skills and aspirations of young people within the LSHP geographical boundaries. The attached report provides a flavour of projects funded over the past year.
Ainsdale Centre for Health and Wellbeing, Southport Centre for Health and Wellbeing and Speke Neighbourhood Health Centre are being used to deliver the COVID-19 vaccination programme across the local area. With the LSHP estates team, working in partnership with Community Health Partnerships, providing a range of assistance from inception to mobilisation, and the ongoing management of the sites.
CCGs, Community Health Partnerships, NHS Property Services and NHS England, as well as other NHS Organisations, are able to use the services of LIFT Companies without further procurement. These services include estate management, estate planning, service planning and property development.
LSHP’s strong partnerships and detailed local knowledge of the primary care & community estate makes us ideally placed to rapidly respond and support with the delivery of the vaccination programme.

The Children’s Centre, based at the Picton Neighbourhood Health Centre, identified over 90 children in desperate need over the Christmas period due to the severe financial pressures on their families, with the children ranging in ages from new-born to 15 years.
With usual fundraising activities curtailed because of the coronavirus, the funding from the LSHP foundation was used by the Children’s Centre to help distribute toys, pyjama’s, toiletries, selection boxes, hats and gloves and food shopping vouchers to the families in need.
Children’s Centre Area Manager, Liz Parsons commented:
“The help and support that LSHP provided for us at the beginning of the Covid crisis made such a difference and brought so much relief, this generous donation for the Christmas Campaign will be a huge help and go towards some of our most vulnerable families.”
