Beating Heart of Liverpool
April 15, 2022
Liverpool is a city with a big heart, but none quite as big as that of local man, Robin Baynes MBE.
Robin is the founder of Liverpool Heartbeat, a charity committed to inspiring and supporting young people to live healthy lives. Robin founded the charity in memory of his lifelong friend, Kenny O’Toole, a fellow Liverpool School Swimming Champion.
In his name, Robin and friends created the first Heartbeat event, a sponsored swim from Scotland to Ireland for the British Heart Foundation.
The rest, as they say, is history.

I’m proud to share that Liverpool Heartbeat is supporting three incredible young people as they take on the 2025 World’s Toughest Row – Atlantic.
Over the past few days, David Graham’s Natural High Tour has touched hearts across Merseyside.
Yesterday was a very special day at Roy Basnett and Claire Campbell’s Podcast Studio.
As chairman of Liverpool Heartbeat, I was deeply moved to see fifteen members of the Tri-4-Life Team honoured for their 25 years of dedicated service.
On Friday, 7th November, I had the privilege of attending The John Hulley Film Premiere at the Devonshire House Hotel surrounded by so many familiar and friendly faces, each connected by a shared love for Liverpool, its people and its stories.
We did it! Liverpool Heartbeat has been honoured with the Special Recognition Award at the Good Small Business Awards 2025—and I’m still beaming with pride.
