Joel Matip helps Anfield schoolkids tackle elderly isolation

The children, from Whitefield Primary School also in Anfield, visited a group of residents from Millachip nursing home to teach them how to use technology, such as video calling to keep in touch with friends and family.

Matip joined in with the pupils as they shared their technology skills, played classic board games and chatted to the residents, bridging the generations and addressing the social isolation that can often be found amongst the elderly community.

Club chaplain Bill Bygroves was also on hand with his guitar to lead the chorus of LFC songs sung by all.
