« Back to About Us


The 800 Group is a consortium of 8 charities all of which have their headquarters or a strong presence in the Merseyside area. The name is derived from the fact that we have been supporting the local community for a combined total of over 800 years.

The 800 Group partners are:

  • Age Concern Liverpool & Sefton –  Older People
  • Bradbury Fields – Visually Impaired People
  • Henshaws Society for Blind People – Visually Impaired People
  • Imagine  – Mental Health Charity
  • St.Joseph’s Hospice  – Own and operate a hospice
  • Merseyside Society for Deaf People – Hard of Hearing\Deaf People
  • Nugent  – Social Care across client groups

To date we have 4 associate members working with Black and Minority ethnic communities whom we work with to ensure that these charities benefit from the 800 Group and that BME communities are represented in our work and our bids and tenders.  They are:

  • Asylum Link
  • Chinese Wellbeing
  • Irish Community Care
  • Mary Seacole House

We have worked together for over 10 years to improve the quality of our services to vulnerable people and to increase our effectiveness and efficiency. Through working together and sharing expertise we have improved many aspects of our charities’ performance incorporating better induction processes, more robust policies and a more unified approach to bidding and tendering and we have learned from each other, so improving our service provision. One very tangible example of the success of our approach is our aggregated purchasing scheme. By using the skills of an experienced procurement manager in Nugent to negotiate prices on goods and services for the 800 Group we have managed to save over £850,000 over the last 4 years which has helped us to keep vital services operating in the face of large cuts in public funding.

The 800 Group is, however, not an exclusive club. We want other, smaller organisations to benefit from this collaboration too so we reach out to other charities and encourage them to join us.
