LFC Foundation and Action for Children launch new mental health programme

Liverpool Football Club’s official charity, LFC Foundation, is partnering with national children’s charity Action for Children to launch a new youth mental health programme in local schools.

The On-Target programme will support and improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people in secondary schools across the Liverpool City Region.

The need for this programme is evident now more than ever amid the coronavirus pandemic, with a recent YouGov survey of over 2,000 parents by Action for Children highlighting that 36 per cent of parents* worry that their children are feeling isolated, lonely, anxious, or unable to sleep.
