Annual Report and Accounts

Our Annual Report and Accounts reviews our performance and highlights the work that we’ve undertaken to meet our aims and objectives.

This year we took a big step for the future – agreeing a merger with the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, which took place on 1 April 2024. By bringing together our combined passion,  resources, and expertise, we aim to reach and support even more people and become a more powerful voice to improve the quality of care for children and adults with a liver condition.

Collaboration already underpins a great deal of the Trust’s success. Whether that’s between our teams or working with outside organisations, our impact is much more than the sum of its parts. A perfect example is our Love Your Liver roadshow. Our new unit was on the road across the UK this year, supported by colleagues from across the Trust as well as volunteers and local NHS teams.

This year our policy team have successfully campaigned to expand viral hepatitis testing in England, uprate Minimum Unit Pricing and reinstate a pathway for faster diagnosis of liver cancer in Scotland. Our policy and influencing work builds on a rising tide of increased public awareness of liver health and liver disease. Our communications team secured high profile broadcasts on both ITV and the BBC this year, and hit the headlines online and in print 780 times.

Sadly, it isn’t only awareness of liver disease that’s increased over the last few years. Liver disease deaths skyrocketed during the pandemic, and they show no sign of falling. This means there is more need than ever for our information and support services. Our committed team of nurses have been helping people with increasingly complicated enquiries. While the information and support section of our website was viewed over 2.9 million times.
