Working together to create magical experiences for children and young people
In 2024 we were delighted to celebrate our 10th year of working together with the Institute of Travel and Tourism (ITT) at their annual conference in Halkidiki, Greece.
Over the past 10 years, our mission to work together to give patients and their families support during their own, often difficult, journeys has been warmly welcomed by Steven Freudmann, Chairman of the ITT, the Board and the members of the ITT.
This support has made such a difference at Alder Hey, helping us to create magical, child-friendly spaces that provide a better experience through distraction therapy, engagement and reducing anxiety and trauma.
At the stunning Gala Dinner in 2024, we were absolutely overwhelmed by the support from ITT members who bid at auction, donated and made pledges of support!
We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Alder Hey through the ITT over the past 10 years with special mentions to Arosa River Cruises and MSC Cruises for sponsoring the Gala Dinners each year.
The money raised from the conference this year will support ‘The Magic’ at Alder Hey. This encompasses the ways we make hospital life brighter for our brave young patients.
Continuing your longstanding support in providing the best experiences for our patients, the money you raise will fund holiday programmes that provide music sessions, visual arts and crafts, theatre and performance, mindfulness, and printmaking for our young people in Sunflower House. Sunflower House is our mental health inpatient unit,
supporting children and young people aged 5 to 13 years old who have the most challenging mental health conditions.
Experience the magic and join us in Cambodia in 2026 to trek to the beautiful Angkor Wat.
