LFC Foundation launches £300k project to get young people 'Onside'

LFC Foundation and Merseyside Police have joined forces to help address the issues around youth and gang crime in conjunction with schools in Merseyside.

The LFC Foundation’s 'Onside’ Project is delivered by Foundation coaches in both The De La Salle Academy in Croxteth and North Liverpool Academy in Anfield.

The coaches use the power of the LFC badge to engage with students and provide them with key skills, confidence and the resilience needed to overcome obstacles and choose the right pathways in life.

The project launch saw former De La Salle student, Merseyside Police acting assistant chief constable Chris Green, return to his old school to learn about how the programme is having a positive impact on young people.
