Royal Staff Attempt To Cook World Biggest's Pot Of Scouse
Charity fundraisers at the Royal have launched a world record attempt to create the biggest ever batch of scouse, served up to staff, outpatients and visitors on 1 February.
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Cllr Tony Concepcion, said: “Scouse is a dish very close to the heart of the people of Liverpool, especially in the chilly month of February.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to serve up steaming dishes of scouse to patients, families and supporters of R Charity at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, and fundraise to make the new Royal even better.”
Leanne Williams, research and development support at caterers ISS, said: “We’ve all been really excited to get involved with the first ever world record attempt to create the world’s largest batch of scouse, and to work hand in hand with such a great cause. Hopefully we can inspire others to join in the fun and together raise money and awareness for R Charity.”
Aidan Kehoe, chief executive of Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “This is the launch of our month long Scouse at R House, fundraising campaign. So come along to see how it’s done and get inspired to hold your own event and help us reach our £10m target to offer patients facilities beyond those that NHS funds can provide.”
