PC&CO CONQUER ANFIELD ABSEIL IN AID OF CHARITY MUSEUM OF LIVERPOOL SHORTLISTED FOR NATIONAL AWARD

Pier Head venue will be visited by undercover judges during the summer holidays

THE MUSEUM OF LIVERPOOL has been shortlisted for the Kids in Museums’ Family Friendly Museum Award.

The popular attraction is vying for a win against two London-based museums, Horniman Museum and Gardens and National Maritime Museum in the Best Large Museum category.

Kate Johnson, head of Museum of Liverpool, says: “Welcoming families and making their visit as fun as possible is so important to us that it was built into the original design of the museum, which opened in 2011.

“From a dedicated children’s gallery and displays at child’s eye level, to changing rooms and space for buggies, being a welcoming, accommodating and enjoyable place for all our visitors is crucial to us.

“A Kids in Museums’ Family Friendly Award is a particularly special recognition because families are such an important voice on the jury, so we’re proud to even make the shortlist.”

Kids in Museums has run an annual award since 2004 and is the only museum award to be judged by families.

Over the summer holidays, the museum will be visited by undercover family judges who will assess the shortlisted museums against a set of guidelines on what makes a great museum visit for all ages.

Their experiences will decide a winner for each museum category and an overall winner of the Family Friendly Museum Award 2023. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in October.

SOLICITORS recently took on a hair-raising challenge at Anfield Stadium in support of Radio City’s ‘Cash for Kids’.

After climbing to the top of the Main Stand roof, members of the firm’s crime, conveyancing, personal injury, family and admin departments bravely abseiled down to the floor below.

At the time of going to press, PC&Co had raised more than £5,000 for ‘Cash for Kids’, which aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in local communities who are affected by poverty, illness and neglect.

To kick-start the ‘Cash for Kids’ fundraising, Hayley and Sofia, part of PC&Co’s 13-strong abseil team, organised a successful ‘bring and buy’ cake sale.

The Anfield-based company has long been a keen supporter of both local and national charities, and recently raised vital funds for the Liverpool 6 Community Centre with a ‘Dress Down Friday’.

The centre supports people who are finding it difficult to make ends meet and provides local families with essential food and non-food items.

PC&Co would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has kindly donated and supported its fundraising events.
