The hub brings together safeguarding stewards, mental health professionals and trained Foundation staff, offering confidential, non-judgemental support to anyone struggling with their mental health, experiencing suicidal thoughts, worried about someone else or simply in need of someone to talk to. Staff also provide practical support and signpost visitors to further specialist services where needed.
Matt Parish, chief executive at LFC Foundation, said: "Making this hub a permanent fixture at Anfield on matchdays is testimony to how seriously we take this issue with the awful reality right now that someone in the UK takes their own life every 90 minutes.
"We want our supporters to know that they do not have to face difficult moments alone, and that there is always a place at Anfield where they can come and talk in a safe and welcoming environment."
