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.
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.
