The ‘Kip on the Kop’ event is a fundraising challenge that doesn’t replicate what it’s like for those who are forced to sleep rough, but it gives an idea of the situation that many people find themselves in, whilst also supporting those who face this as a reality every night.

LFC Foundation successfully launched its first Kip on the Kop last year, with more than £65,000 raised to help tackle homelessness across the Liverpool City Region.

Funds raised will go towards supporting LFC Foundation’s Global Works programme which provides sport-based employability sessions and mentoring for young people who have experienced homelessness, as well as Liverpool Homeless FC, who formed an annual 5-a-side league that was founded for and is accessed by people who are affected by homelessness across the region.

Currently the league is made up of 18 homelessness organisations that operate across Merseyside, with a focus on inclusion, fun and helping to move lives forward.
