LFC Foundation named as Community Club of the Season

LFC Foundation has been awarded ‘Community Club of the Season – Premier League’ award at the prestigious 2025 Spencer Chadderton Northwest Football Awards

The Club’s official charity fought off competition from fellow Premier League Foundations to claim the title at an event in Manchester which saw clubs and community organisations from across the Northwest unite to recognise those who have achieved footballing excellence both on and off the field. 

The LFC Foundation was praised for its life-changing impact over the last 12 months both home and away which has seen over 145,000 people supported through health, learning and employability programmes, contributing a social value of £80.3m to Liverpool City Region and £364.79m of social value over the past five years. This work and impact has only been possible thanks to the support of partners including the Steve Morgan Foundation, Premier League Charitable Fund and the PFA to name a few.

The LFC Foundation has also been able to extend its work into five countries. Over 19,000 people outside of the UK have benefitted from the LFC Foundation working alongside Right to Play, the Nippon Foundation and others to deliver programmes in Tanzania, Ethiopia, United States, Republic of Ireland and soon to be, Japan.

Locally LFC Foundation has worked in 206 schools, delivered 341 hours of employment training every month with over 15,500 people attending a session that directly contributed to the improvement of their physical and mental health.

Moreover, 1,000 meals per week have been delivered from Anfield to local families each week. Participants are feeling healthier and by attending LFC Foundation sessions, the club’s official charity has contributed over £170m in healthcare saving over the past 5 years.

Matt Parish, Chief Executive a LFC Foundation, said:

“It is a great honour to be named the Community Club of the Season, and I am delighted for our 100-strong team on the ground who have made this possible. Without their hard work, dedication, and commitment we would not be able to make the positive difference in our communities both home and away.

“I’d also like to extend our thanks to all our partners who help us tackle social inequality. We have an ambitious, but achievable target of working with 500,000 participants by 2030 through health, learning and employability programmes and their continued support will help us on that mission.”
