Liverpool Sportswoman’s Lunch 2024 raises £38,000 for The Hive
Liverpool Sportswoman’s Lunch (LSL) 2024 has once again exceeded its previous fundraising efforts and raised an incredible £38,000 for The Hive Youth Zone.
The event, which took place on Thursday 12th September 2024 at Liverpool Football Club, was hosted by radio personality, Darren Proctor, and boasted former Liverpool and Everton player, and current Liverpool FC women’s ambassador, Natasha Dowie, as guest speaker.
During the day, Charlotte, a young person who has used The Hive’s services, shared her own experience of the invaluable work that the organisation does on a daily basis. She captivated the room of 360 guests, as she spoke from the heart.
The total amount raised by the event was shared with Charlotte a few days later and her reaction not only cemented why we support The Hive, but also how important the facility is to her and many other young people like her. You can watch her getting the news here.
It is the third consecutive year that the event has beat its previous year’s fundraising total. Its inaugural year saw £7k raised for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, in year two it raised £11k for the Encephalitis Society, and year three saw almost £7k raised for NSPCC. In 2022 the event raised £20,250 for Marie Curie and last year it upped its game even further to raise more than £30,000 for LFC Foundation.
Natalie Dye from Bathgate Business Finance said: “We are overjoyed that we have once again smashed our previous year’s fundraising efforts and grateful to our guests for their incredible generosity, which has allowed us to raise an amazing £38k for The Hive Youth Zone in Wirral.
“The work The Hive does is absolutely invaluable, providing a safe space and support for so many young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. As Founder Patrons of The Hive nothing makes the team at Bathgate Business Finance happier than to know such a brilliant amount has been raised to help The Hive continue its vital work!”
The Liverpool Sportswoman’s Lunch was created by Clare Brookfield of Primas Law, Marena Mondair of EMW Law LLP and Bathgate’s Natalie Dye in 2017.
In addition to the three founders the Liverpool Sportswoman’s Lunch Board now comprises Natalie Dickson of Freeths LLP, Lucy Shotter of Bibby Financial Services, Lynne Pierce of Flavell Wealth Management, Ruth Kirby of NatWest, Louise Molloy of Metro Bank and Alice Gregan of Langtons.
