Chancellor Nisha Katona's 'afternoon with Claire House Children's Hospice'
Claire House is one of LJMU’s corporate charity partners
Chancellor Nisha Katona attended 'an afternoon with Claire House' to raise the profile of the amazing work the charity is doing for terminally ill children in Merseyside.
Interviewed by radio presenter Leanne Campbell, Nisha took part in a Q&A at the event to discuss her life and career, as well as her passion for the Claire House charity, one which her own restaurant business Mowgli, also supports.
Nisha Katona, Liverpool John Moores University Chancellor, said:
“I’m very excited that LJMU and Claire House have an alliance and a charitable partnership. I’ve got such a passion for both.
“As an alumnus of LJMU, the university met me in my hour of need and gave me endless hope. With Claire House, it’s an institution that is across the region that meets people in their darkest hour, their time of most need and holds their hand through those moments with their terminally ill children. It is incredible what they do.”
