KQ Liverpool's 10th Anniversary Fundraiser

Over the past 10 years, Knowledge Quarter Liverpool (KQ Liverpool) has grown significantly marking a number of key milestones along the way. This year, to mark our iconic 10th year, we are delighted to announced a series of ten major events and initiatives to mark the occasion.

Among the planned activities will be a long-distance, endurance fundraising challenge taken on by our CEO, Colin Sinclair, raising money for this years three local chosen charities.

Other ‘ten for ten’ events include the laying of a time capsule capturing the essence of today’s technology and future aspirations, to be opened in 2040, in addition to an art competition in association with dot-art Schools, inviting local secondary school pupils to create original artwork within the theme of ‘Life Under the Microscope’.

The 'ten for ten' campaign follows hot on the heels of Colin’s previous fundraising event in September 2025, when he ran a double-marathon across the Liverpool City Region in a day, raising nearly £17,000 for six charities working with children and young people here in Liverpool.
