Prevented from plying their usual trade, English teams turn to protecting those at risk. FMTNews Football
Around a quarter of food donations are collected at Liverpool and Everton home games.
But the loss of four home games for the Reds and five for neighbours Everton could have had much more severe consequences for those dependent on the North Liverpool Foodbank. “If people are having to use a foodbank week in, week out anyway, the most disadvantaged in our community will be the hardest-hit during this period of time,” LFC Foundation director Matt Parish told AFP.
The foundation’s range of programmes in the community, including football coaching, sessions for disabled children and activities for the elderly have been cancelled. “We have the ability to call people to maintain that contact. It’s going to be challenging for all of us to isolate, but if you are older or living alone that is probably even more stark.”At the other end of the Football League pyramid, at the bottom of League Two, Stevenage are doing all they can to help provide for and protect those at risk.
“Community club doesn’t just mean going round to schools and teaching kids to play football. Community club is surely when you are really needed, to do something.”
