The Robin Baynes Story

June 27, 2022

Robin Spencer Baynes. MBE

It will come as no surprise to readers that there are many unsung heroes who selflessly contribute a great deal of their time for the benefit of Liverpool and its people. One such person is Robin Baynes, who was rewarded for his constant and selfless charity work with the award of the MBE, which he received from Her Majesty the Queen on 3rd November 2010.



Robin, assisted by his wife Brenda and his family, has helped raise hundreds of thousands of pounds over many many years of fundraising for a wide variety of charities, while his founding of the New Start and Liverpool Heartbeat businesses have helped many of the more vulnerable people, children and adults in our region and beyond, to be able to lead a more rewarding life.

Now aged 76, Robin still continues with his efforts to help others less fortunate in life
