Case study: LFC Connect is life-enhancing Avid Red, Colette, is a people-person.
At 91-years old, she enjoys nothing more than sitting down and having a good chat. Speaking to friends, old and new, listening to the stories they have to tell and learning about their lives.
Whoever you are, or wherever you’re from, retired nurse Colette is always interested in hearing your tale.
So, when lockdown hit back in March 2020, Colette found that her opportunities to meet new people and enjoy an interesting conversation became severely limited.
Registered blind, she lives in extra care sheltered accommodation in the Croxteth area.
LFC supports Radio City Cash for Kids: Mission Christmas As part of Liverpool FC s Operation Christmas Magic campaign, the club supported Radio City Cash for Kids: Mission Christmas to ensure no child would wake up on Christmas Day without a gift.
The festive initiative raised more than £1.3 million in total, with the club donating 1,750 gifts and contributing more than £5,000 of donations from its own fundraising activity.
The club also reached out to the wider LFC family, who donated new and unwrapped gifts at official stores in Liverpool and Chester. All donations were provided to children living in the Liverpool City Region, who would have otherwise woken up on Christmas Day without a toy or gift.
Reds deliver some festive magic to the local community Liverpool FC has joined together with some of its partners and delivered 1,500 Christmas food hampers to local residents in Anfield and Kirkby as part of its Operation Christmas Magic campaign.
The hampers included fresh food to prepare a turkey roast dinner and a host of festive treats. Club partners AXA, Cadbury, Joie, Lavazza, NH Foods and Quorn also supported the Christmas food hampers to ensure they had that extra special touch.
Joie also invited a surprise guest to help deliver the hampers – Father Christmas and his elf made a special appearance in the Joie taxi to add a bit of extra festive fun.
