Pain Relief Foundation Awarded Freedom Of The City
At a special
meeting of the City of Liverpool Council on
3rd March 2010 the City Councillors awarded
FREEDOM
OF THE CITY to Pain Relief Foundation,
which will now be included on the City’s
Freedom Roll of Association, the highest honour
that the City can bestow.
Speaking on behalf of the Trustees of the Pain
Relief Foundation, the Charity’s Administrator
expressed his grateful thanks to the Lord Mayor,
Party Leaders and Members of Liverpool City
Council for awarding the Pain Relief Foundation
the City Council’s highest honour, and
inclusion on the Freedom Roll of Association. He
went on to say how delighted everyone at the
Foundation is for this recognition and to have
been awarded this prestigious honour.
The award is in recognition of 32 years dedicated
work on human chronic pain during which time,
the Foundation has established an International
reputation and is recognised worldwide as a
leader in this field.
Of course, our continued success is due to the
combined skills of our doctors, scientists
and researchers who work with drive and determination
to further understand the underlying reasons
for chronic pain conditions. Led by
a Professor of Pain Science, the researchers
seek to find new and improved ways to bring
an end to the agonies suffered by the many
thousands of chronic pain patients. Besides
being supported by a Professor in Pain Science,
the team is also supported by an Educational
Committee and a Scientific Committee, each
chaired by leading doctors.
We would like to acknowledge
that without donations and support none of
our achievements would have been possible. We
rely entirely on the unselfish gifts from our
donors, on the goodwill and generosity of companies
and trusts and on those who leave their legacies
to the Foundation. We
would like to offer you our sincerest thanks
and gratitude.
Human chronic pain is one of the last great
challenges facing medical science, so please
give us all the help you can to make sure it
is a fight we can win!!
