A Project That Sparked Joy

A huge thank you for all your work with our children over the past four weeks. I’m sorry I missed you today, but staff have been messaging all evening saying how brilliant the project was and that they’d love to continue it or run it again next year. If you have the capacity, we’d be thrilled to work with you again.


Thank you for everything — the joy and confidence you’ve given our children is beyond words.

A VISIONARY AHEAD OF HIS TIME

John Hulley

Discover Liverpool’s maverick who shaped the spirit of the Olympics

John Hulley was a pioneering thinker whose bold ideas and unconventional spirit set him apart in Victorian Britain. He challenged expectations, championed new ways of living, and pushed boundaries long before society was ready to follow.


Contemporaries debated his eccentricity — some questioned his sanity, while others insisted he was “as sane as a lawyer.” Yet all agreed on one thing: John Hulley was unforgettable.


His legacy endures in the movements he sparked and the lives he influenced.

This 14th June, we come together for something truly special — The John Hulley Day, a moment that marks the beginning of an annual tradition honouring one of Liverpool’s great pioneers of sport and community.

Our Impact

For more than two decades, Liverpool Heartbeat has helped young people across Merseyside grow in confidence, creativity and self‑belief. Through workshops, school projects and community events, thousands of children have discovered new skills, new passions and a stronger sense of who they are.


The results show in their stories — young people finding their voice, stepping into leadership, and carrying those early moments of encouragement into adulthood. Year after year, Liverpool Heartbeat continues to prove how powerful creativity, kindness and opportunity can be.

Supporting Liverpool Heartbeat

Working with children across Merseyside is one of the greatest joys of my life. Year after year, I see young people grow in confidence, creativity and self‑belief — and every time, it reminds me why Liverpool Heartbeat exists.


If you’ve felt inspired by our work, or you’ve seen the difference it makes, I’d love to invite you — gently — to support us. A small donation helps us reach more children, run more projects, and keep opening doors for those who need encouragement the most.


There’s no pressure at all.

Just a heartfelt thank you for being part of this journey, and an open hand if you’d like to help us continue it.

Robin Baynes

CEO Liverpool Heartbeat.
