Liverpool Women’s Hospital Charity recently held a community event at The Clubhouse in Wolstenholme Square, a modern, flexible venue within Sefton Hospitality’s Ropewalks Hotel complex.
The Liverpool Women’s Power Pageant was created to celebrate and showcase the city’s most inspiring women, offering them a platform to share their powerful stories while supporting a vital cause. The uplifting and heartfelt event raised over £10,000 for the HIPEC Appeal, which funds pioneering research into ovarian cancer treatment. The afternoon brought together supporters from local businesses and community organisations for an engaging mix of entertainment and fundraising.
More than 130 guests attended the inspirational event, which was organised in partnership with beauty pageant veterans Sarah Roberts and Danni Smith. The Power Pageant was created as a heartfelt tribute to the sisterhood, strength, and resilience of women whose lives have been touched by ovarian cancer.
Kate Davis, Head of Fundraising at Liverpool Women’s Charity, said:
“We wanted to try something bold and different, a celebration of strength, self-belief and sisterhood. The Power Pageant gave women a platform to share their stories and shine in their own unique way, while raising vital funds for a cause that matters deeply to us. We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved and the incredible women who made it happen.”
The Crown was awarded to Laura Boateng, an Operating Department Practitioner Team Leader at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, whose commitment to women’s health was an inspiration to those attending. Bernie Morrow took the first runner-up crown and Tracy Mullen was the second runner-up and both shared deeply movies stories reflecting their own experiences.
Catherine Roberts from The Clubhouse, said:
”Working alongside Liverpool Women’s Hospital for such a meaningful cause was an absolute pleasure. Raising funds for new equipment that will make a real difference locally to Liverpool and our community felt incredibly rewarding. I’m so glad we could offer The Clubhouse as the setting – seeing the venue come to life in a completely different way, with the catwalk fitting perfectly into the space, was brilliant. The energy for the whole afternoon was buzzing, and the women involved were truly inspirational.”
