Milos Kerkez was a surprise visitor at a Special Educational Needs school to meet local children taking part in an LFC Foundation session, funded by the Steve Morgan Foundation.
The Special Education Needs programme, funded by the Foundation, provides inclusive physical activity for children in SEN schools with the opportunity to access high-quality physical activity and sports which they may not otherwise have access to.
Abbot’s Lea School in Woolton works closely with the LFC Foundation on this programme, and Reds’ defender Milos Kerkez took time out to take part in a sports session at the school and got to know one pupil in particular, LFC fan Joe, who has made incredible progress through the help of the programme.
Our CEO Liam Eaglestone said: “The work that the LFC Foundation does is wonderful and seeing the faces of the children and young people when they meet their heroes and interact with them is a real pleasure.
“We are really proud of the work that has been achieved through our partnership with LFC Foundation over the past five years, and we are pleased that our ongoing partnership will see even more work done to positively affect the lives of people in our region.”
Matt Parish, Chief Executive of LFC Foundation, added: “The relationship between the LFC Foundation and the Steve Morgan Foundation has allowed us to have more impact in communities across the Liverpool City Region.
“The young people attending these sessions sometimes don’t get the same access as children in other schools, but the Steve Morgan Foundation support allows us to offer free sport and physical activity to all SEN schools across the Liverpool City Region, which is huge.”
Our partnership with LFC Foundation is entering its sixth year, with almost £5million committed by the Foundation so far, helping to provide more opportunities for people of all ages across the Liverpool City Region.
