The Liverpool Echo is one of the most famous and trusted regional news brands in the world.
The Echo has been championing the Liverpool city region and telling the stories of its remarkable people for more than 140 years. During that time we have spearheaded a number of high-impact campaigns making a real difference to the lives of our readers and to the environment of Merseyside.
Stop the Rot was launched in October 2000 in a bid to safeguard and preserve the rich architectural heritage of the city and the wider Merseyside region and prevent beautiful but crumbling buildings from being bulldozed. Wearing new pyjamas on Christmas Eve is a real Liverpool tradition so we joined forces with a local mum and daughter to support the Pyjama Party – a community-led campaign to collect pyjamas for children who were homeless or in need.
And following the death of Rhys Jones, an innocent schoolboy shot dead as he walked home from football practice, we launched Liverpool Unites raising money to establish a community centre in memory of the football-mad 11-year-old caught up in senseless gang violence.
