The Formby Friends Group was founded in 2000 and to date has raised over £40,000 for the Merseybeat Appeal located at the Liverpool Cardiothoracic Centre NHS Trust.
All monies raised are used to support research into heart disease. The Cardiothoracic Centre has a strong commitment to research and development that is embodied in its independent Research Laboratory. Working with local Universities, clinicians and scientists, the CTC Research Laboratory carry out research aimed directly at improving outcomes for CTC patients. In some instances, findings are quickly translated into improvements in clinical practice, benefiting patients in the short-term. They are also tackling some of the more difficult challenges facing cardiovascular medicine today, helping to prevent heart disease and to improve treatments for patients of the future.
Formby Friends hold a formal meeting once a month and we organise many regular events throughout the year including coffee mornings, ladies lunches, quiz nights, gala dinners, garden trails, Christmas fayres, murder mystery, wine tasting, car boot sales, barn dances, tuck shops to name but a few.
We are looking for new members to join our successful Group. If you are interested in joining us or would like an informal chat please contact Colette McMenamin, Chair of Formby Friends Group on 01704 873286.
