Michael Eakin, Chief Executive of Liverpool Philharmonic said, “We

are delighted to welcome Alder Hey to our Music and Health
programme and are grateful for their commitment to this new
partnership. We now work with 6 NHS organisations in the Liverpool
City Region, being able to expand our support to children and young

people is very important to us.

“This programme has demonstrated the long-term positive impact
music and creativity has on improving the physical and mental
health outcomes of patients and participants and we’re excited to
continue to grow the programme and support more people in the

region and beyond”.

Fiona Ashcroft, Chief Executive of Alder Hey Children’s Charity
said, “Music and the arts are a huge part of what we do at Alder Hey
to help our children and young people recover. The charity has

funded Arts for Health projects across the hospital totalling
£354,524 this year alone and we’re delighted to be able to now
partner with such a prestigious organisation as Liverpool
Philharmonic.”
