Liverpool Football Club has launched a new levy initiative and is helping two local Anfield organisations to train their staff and plan for the future.
The Reds will donate nearly £50,000 of their Apprenticeship Levy to fund training programmes for staff and volunteers at Homebaked bakery and Anfield Sports and Community Centre.
The initial donation, which is 14 per cent of the club’s available levy transfer funds, will fund six employees to enrol in training programmes across a number of different areas from advanced bakery to digital marketing and sports coaching.
The Apprenticeship Levy is paid by employers who have a salary bill of over £3m per year.
