Forever Reds donates £75,000 to three local charities - Liverpool FC

Barry Lyon, Alzheimer’s Society’s north west local services manager, said: “A third of us will develop dementia in our lifetimes. We at Alzheimer’s Society vow to help as many people affected by dementia as possible, but we can’t do it without the generous support from our partners.

“We’re so grateful to Forever Reds for their amazing £25,000 donation. This money will go directly towards local dementia support services in Liverpool.

“It was an absolute pleasure meeting John Aldridge, and we were touched that he took such a keen interest in our work and spent lots of time chatting with Fran, a massive Reds fan who’s living with dementia.

“Alzheimer’s Society’s support services are a lifeline. They help people through some of the hardest and most frightening times. Thanks to this donation, we will be able to reach even more of the 32,000 people living with dementia across Liverpool.”

Gina Earnshaw, corporate and major donor fundraiser at Zoe’s Place, added: “At Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice, we are lucky enough to be involved with the LFC Foundation, this partnership brings so many opportunities to both the families who attend the hospice and the growth of Zoe’s Place itself.

“We are so grateful to have now received such a generous donation from Forever Reds, this will provide the funding of our play specialist’s salary for the year. Our play specialist uses techniques that help our babies achieve developmental goals, and to understand and ease past trauma from their complex conditions, as well as supporting siblings through play.”
