How can my workplace make a difference?

Make Mersey Cares your charity of the year
If your workplace chooses a charity to support for the year, you can nominate or choose our Mersey Care NHS Charity to help us raise awareness and essential funds that allow us to do more good.
Nominate colleagues to take on a fundraising challenge
From abseiling to skydiving through to marathons, you can nominate willing employees to take part in a fundraising challenge and support them on their mission to raise essential funds. Employees with a challenge in mind can secure their place directly at an upcoming challenge event or can register at one of Mersey Cares' organised events Once registered, contact our charity team to let us know and access support and resources.
Donate through your business
You can donate to Mersey Cares via BACS. Simply contact us at charity
Host a fundraiser at your workplace
Increasingly, businesses are demonstrating their support to local charitable causes and helping to make a positive contribution within their communities. Supporting Mersey Cares will allow us to tackle the social and structural barriers that can get in the way of good health.
Through previous funds, the charity has been able to fund a support group for Young Onset Dementia, implemented patients’ sensory gardens and rooms and enabled interactive workshops to create space for children and young people to write about their experiences after COVID-19.
With NHS services and its workforce facing increasing challenges, we want our Mersey Care NHS Charity to continue to support innovative projects, new facilities and developments which would not be normally within the NHS’ scope to further serve the health needs of our communities.
Subscribe to support us through Pennies from Heaven
Once subscribed, employees simply opt-in to donate their pennies from their payslip to Mersey Cares, the most ever being 99p per pay packet. You can explore more, subscribe and select ‘Mersey Cares NHS Charity’ as your beneficiary over on the Pennies from Heaven website.
What sort of things can we deliver with funding?
We want our Mersey Care NHS Charity to continue to bring to life new community projects and developments to support services users, patients and staff so that we can do more to make a difference and help people keep well and living well at home for longer.
