The Steve Morgan Foundation has committed a further £6 million to Liverpool Football Club’s official charity, LFC Foundation, through an ambitious new five-year partnership to tackle deep-rooted inequalities across the Liverpool City Region and create lasting change for children, young people, families and communities.
The agreement takes our total funding contribution to more than £10 million over the course of a decade, making us the LFC Foundation’s largest sole funder.
The expanded partnership and ambitious scale-up will support a fully integrated programme across education, wellbeing, employability and community development, designed to deliver measurable, long-term regional impact. The funding will also continue to support the LFC Foundation’s 11 community hubs across the region, which work to reduce isolation, tackle food insecurity and create opportunities for local communities. At the heart of the partnership is a shared commitment to place-based change, with a strengthened focus on Anfield alongside wider work across the Liverpool City Region.
Matt Parish, Chief Executive of the LFC Foundation, said:
“The partnership between the LFC Foundation and the Steve Morgan Foundation has already made a profound difference to thousands of lives across the Liverpool City Region.
“I can’t thank and praise Steve, Sally and everyone at the Steve Morgan Foundation enough for their support and belief in our work. This latest commitment is a significant milestone for our partnership and will enable us to work towards achieving our ambitions plans to support half a million people per season by 2030.”
Steve Morgan added:
“As a local lad and lifelong Liverpool supporter, it’s incredibly rewarding to support the club’s charitable work in such a meaningful way.
“Taking our support beyond £10 million and becoming the Foundation’s largest funder is a milestone I’m proud of, but the real measure of success is the opportunities created, communities strengthened, and lives changed.
“The LFC Foundation team does exceptional work, often behind the scenes, and this latest £6 million commitment backs them to have an even greater impact.”
