A Bank Holiday to Remember

A Bank Holiday to Remember

On August Bank Holday Monday, I had the pleasure of joining Nicola Broadley along with Abby Warner and Amy McKeown – two brilliant teachers from Arabella Dance Academy (Widnes) for a heartfelt conversation with Billy Hull on BBC Radio Merseyside.

We covered so much ground—each project a testament to the passion and purpose that drives Liverpool Heartbeat:


🎨 The Peace Wall – now open to the public at The Beatles Museum on Mathew Street. A permanent symbol of unity and hope.


🌊 Across the Mersey Swim – happening 30th August. A challenge of courage and community.


Liverpool Heartbeat Golf Day – teeing off 10th September. A day of sport and support.


🎶 Give Peace a Chance – The Beatles Concert – 7th September at the Yoko Ono Lennon Theatre. A sold-out celebration, lovingly organised by our incredible volunteer Nicola Broadley, whose talents span West End stages and global performances.



🎬 World Premiere of the John Hulley Film – launching 6th November. A story of legacy, vision, and inspiration.

Through these initiatives and many more, Liverpool Heartbeat continues to nurture creativity, resilience, and ambition in young people—ensuring our message echoes across generations.


Thank you to everyone who walks this journey with us.
