Over the next three years, Liverpool and Everton's respective charities will each invest £75,000 a year in a Grassroots Football Development Fund to provide equipment, training opportunities and pitch-time for clubs, leagues and families who may face financial barriers.
Working alongside Liverpool City Council and the County Football Association, the clubs will create a steering group that will consider applications for funding support from junior clubs and leagues.
Support will be divided into a development fund - designed to help existing clubs that want to expand and new clubs that are just kicking off. It will help fund the training of coaches and providing facilities for clubs.
