You are invited to attend a lecture with University of Liverpool alumna and Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), Julia Unwin CBE.

Merseyside has a proud history of philanthropy and active community engagement. It has also in its history seen the worst of the poverty that continues to scar the UK. The potential of philanthropy to shine a bright light on what is happening to people and places in poverty, and to develop solutions has never been greater.

In her lecture Julia will explore the ways in which philanthropy can be a force influencing positive, and lasting, social change.

The Fred Freeman lecture series celebrates philanthropy on Merseyside, the North West, and society as a whole and was established following a generous donation from the Freeman family in memory of the late Fred Freeman, founder of payroll giving.

The event will take place on 22 June in the Brett Building (building number 423 on the campus map) and will begin at 6.00pm. Tickets for this lecture are FREE but must be booked in advance by clicking on the link below.
