Morecrofts staff back Clatterbridge as nominated charity

Morecrofts Solicitors has selected Clatterbridge Cancer Centre as its chosen charity for the next year.

The decision follows an internal staff nomination and voting process and means Clatterbridge will become the main recipient of fundraising at Morecrofts events until May 2015.

Rachel Donohoe, fundraising manager for Merseyside and Lancashire, said: “We are delighted that one of Liverpool’s oldest and best known law firms Morecrofts Solicitors have chosen us as their charity partner for the year and we’re looking forward to working closely with them to raise much needed funds for our hospital - The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre which is one of the largest networked cancer centres in the UK.

“From nine operating sites across Merseyside and Cheshire, we treat over 30,000 patients a year, offering pioneering chemotherapy, radiotherapy and proton therapy treatments. The incidence of cancer is increasing – and our region has the highest cancer death rate in the UK, meaning there are so many of us who have been touched by cancer.

“It’s thanks to support from companies and community groups that we can help to make the hospital such a special place, helping our patients – young and old – get the best possible care.”

Alison Lobb, managing partner at Morecrofts, said: “We are delighted to be supporting such a fantastic cause.

“I look forward to working with Clatterbridge in our events. This is such a pro-active charity with some big plans for the future and at Morecrofts we are proud to be contributing.”
