LFC Foundation and Cadbury bring festive cheer to local care home residents LFC Foundation and Cadbury have teamed up to bring some festive cheer to care home residents and those in need in Liverpool ahead of Christmas.
The club’s official global chocolate partner provided 400 Christmas-themed Dairy Milk bars as part of its recent Secret Santa Campaign, which participants from LFC Foundation’s #iWill programme sent on to local care homes and community groups alongside a personalised, hand-drawn Christmas message.
Seven local care homes received the special festive envelopes this week, as well as homeless charity, Whitechapel Centre, and a refuge centre for local women and children.
Watch: LFC s Christmas community carol service Liverpool FC s community team, Red Neighbours, is hosting its first-ever virtual community Christmas carol service this year, as a result of not being able to host the service at Anfield due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The popular annual event usually takes place at Anfield in the run-up to Christmas, with more than 500 guests attending – including local schools, residents, community groups, LFC staff and players.
This year’s festive service, which will be hosted by the club’s chaplain Bill Bygroves, will feature performances from Four Oaks Primary School and Daisy Inclusive UK, readings by Margaret Aspinall, LFC Women players Taylor Hinds and Rachel Furness, and Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker – plus a very special Christmas message from manager Jürgen Klopp.
LFC and Cadbury team up for Secret Santa campaign Liverpool FC has teamed up with Cadbury to bring Christmas cheer to local residents in Liverpool as part of its Secret Santa campaign.
Alongside Red Neighbours and LFC Foundation, Cadbury will be raising awareness for the Trussell Trust – and providing a little bit of extra magic for more than 150,000 people supported by its network of foodbanks – by adding a chocolate treat to food parcels this Christmas.
Red Neighbours and LFC Foundation have partnered with Cadbury to help promote the initiative and provide an additional donation to the North Liverpool and South Liverpool Foodbanks.
