We still enjoy the patronage of Lord Watts of Ravenhead and the Rt Hon Marie Rimmer CBE MP.
We are please to welcome Rt Hon David Baines MP as a new patron. Conor McGinn is no longer a patron.
Martin Bond resigned as a trustee due to his work commitments, but continues to support the charity as a patron, we conveyed our appreciation to Martin for the time and effort he contributed as founder trustee at the meeting 18[th] March 2025. We don’t expect this to have a negative impact on the charity, so for the foreseeable future we have no plans to appoint another trustee
This years service of remembrance was a great success. We displayed 138 hard hats to represent the 138 souls who lost their lives in work related accidents in 2023/24, source RIDDOR. The hats were kindly loaned to us by Vinci Building responsible for St Helens town centre redevelopment. Attended by The Lord Mayor of St Helens, both of the towns MPs members of the public and many local dignitaries. Again we are grateful to Haydock Band for generously donating their time and for the music. We are also grateful to the piper providing accompaniment to the wreath laying ceremony.
The service commemorating the dead, also serves to make people more aware of the need for safety in the workplace. We are making plans for next years service
