LFC Foundation celebrates local charities at Community Fund event at Anfield

The event, which took place in the Kenny Dalglish Community Suite, brought together local charities and community groups who were successful in securing grants from LFC Foundation's Community Fund to invest in a range of exciting projects.

The club’s official charity launched its Community Fund in April this year to help grassroots charities in Merseyside that support children and young people who are disabled, disadvantaged or suffering from abuse or neglect.

The Fund was set-up using £100,000 raised from this year's LFC Legends charity match against their AC Milan counterparts at Anfield.

Matt Parish, LFC Foundation director, said: “It’s really humbling to see what these grassroots charities and community groups are doing and the real impact that their work is having on local people and the wider community.
