On Friday 19th September 2025, colleagues and teams from across Alder Hey gathered together for our annual Alder Hey Stars Awards!
The event was presented by radio’s Simon Ross and marks an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to celebrating the incredible positive difference our colleagues make, each and every day.
We are especially grateful for the amazing support we got from our sponsors, without whom the event would not have happened.
