For the third year running, the ‘Kip on the Kop’ fundraising challenge will help to raise vital funds to support people who are vulnerable across the city, while also raising awareness of some of the challenges they face.
The challenge doesn’t replicate what it’s like for those who are forced to sleep rough, but it gives an idea of the situation that many people find themselves in, and also supports those who face this as a reality every night.
At last year’s event, LFC Foundation CEO Matt Parish addressed the crowd to highlight the issue of homelessness across the Liverpool City Region and the north west as a whole, before John Finnigan, CEO of Liverpool Homeless FC, gave an insight into the challenges faced by those his organisation supports.
Also in attendance was Reds fan and comedian John Bishop, an ambassador for Liverpool Homeless FC, who spoke passionately about the work of both organisations and the need for change.
