Graham Liver has been a familiar face and voice to people across the North West for more than three decades. He has worked for the BBC since he was 18 and now presents the Breakfast show on BBC Radio Lancashire and the news on BBC North West Tonight. Over the years, Graham has raised well over £500,000 for charity during his many Children in Need challenges. This money has gone towards ensuring that every child in Lancashire has a safe, happy and secure childhood - and the chance to reach their full potential. In his spare time, Graham enjoys walking in the Lancashire countryside with his fiancée, Dave, and their dog, Toby.

Speaking about becoming a patron of TramShed Theatre Company, Graham said: “Over the years, I have seen up close the brilliant work that TramShed do. The impact they have on young people across Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde is immeasurable. It is truly inclusive theatre, where differences are celebrated and nobody is excluded. I am very proud to become a patron of an organisation which is making such a real difference to lives of young people in Lancashire.”
