University given £1 million to support equine facilities
“We are hugely grateful for this generous donation from Lord Leverhulme’s Charitable Trust” – Paul Lunn.
Donation made by Lord Leverhulme’s Charitable Trust.

The University of Liverpool has received a £1 million donation to support new equine facilities at its Leahurst campus.

The donation has been made by Lord Leverhulme’s Charitable Trust. The charity has previously been a significant donor to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital and the Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital at the university.

The trust was created by Philip Lever, 3rd Viscount Leverhulme. The British peer and racehorse owner served as chancellor of the University of Liverpool from 1980 to 1993.

The donation comes at a time when the university’s School of Veterinary Science is celebrating its 120th anniversary. A recent event at St George’s Hall, Liverpool, saw hundreds of guests come together to mark the milestone.

Paul Lunn, dean of the School of Veterinary Science, said: “We are hugely grateful for this generous donation from Lord Leverhulme’s Charitable Trust. This significant gift will make a substantial contribution to our continued world-leading work in equine health.

“It seems fitting that this contribution comes in the same year the School of Veterinary Science celebrates its 120th anniversary and at a moment when we are reflecting on our long and esteemed history.

“The Lord Leverhulme’s Charitable Trust has played a key role in our history, and we’re delighted to see our partnership continue into the future.”
