WATCHMatt Parish on LFC Foundation's most successful and impactful season to date
To celebrate the end of another incredibly successful season for LFC Foundation, Matt Parish chats to LFCTV about the many highlights for the charity from its sell-out Official Legends Charity Match at Anfield to the release of its third social impact report, recent award wins and plans for next season.
Discussing LFC Foundation’s impact, Matt says : “It’s our biggest ever, we’ve supported over 122,000 participants and generated a social value of over £80m, which for every £1 raised we turn it into £14 worth of value for our communities, which we are super proud of.”
LFC Foundation recently celebrated its participants and the local community heroes who help them to achieve this at Anfield at its annual Community Awards 2024.
On welcoming 60,000 fans to Anfield Matt reveals that this year’s Official Legends Charity Match against Ajax Legends was “our biggest and best Legends game so far, with Torres, Gerrard, the Sven effect as well and raising £1.2m that will focus on developing and supporting our education programmes across the Liverpool City Region.”
He also addresses his pride at LFC Foundation being crowned the best PL Community Scheme at the Football Business Awards and speaking about the charity’s ambitions for the upcoming season and future Matt adds: “We want to support more people, generate more income to enable us to do that. We want to grow the work we do here where we are having the most impact and expand our work internationally in the next three to five years.”
