Anfield will play host to some of the world's finest footballing talents this weekend - and today on Liverpoolfc.com, we continue to outline how funds raised from the All-Star charity game will be used to support those in need.

Organised by the Liverpool FC Foundation, the Reds' official charity, Sunday's showpiece event will see two sides, captained by Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, go head-to-head in the 3pm BST kick-olff.

Guests will include the likes of Thierry Henry, Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres, and first-team stars not on international duty as well as young talents from the Academy playing their part.

But the day is about much more than just a stellar 90 minutes of football and the chance to welcome the likes of Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia, Pepe Reina and more back to the hallowed Anfield turf.

As well as helping Alder Hey Children's Charity's £30million appeal to provide a new Hospital in the Park, the match will help fund the Liverpool FC Foundation's community programmes and lend support to four other charities in the local area. Here, we learn a bit more about each of those organisations...

Cash for Kids

Cash for Kids is part of the Bauer Radio's network of local charities, which operates across 21 areas around the UK, including Liverpool's Radio City.

Their mission is to respond to the needs of children from the North West, Merseyside and across North Wales, supporting those who suffer abuse or neglect, who are disabled, or those who have special needs, helping them to live life to the full and achieve their individual potential.

The money raised by Cash for Kids goes to support local children under the age of 18, and the charity has a grant-giving process that means organisations, charities and individuals can apply for support that will make a difference where it is needed most.

Centre 56

Based in Kirkdale, a 10-minute walk from the Reds' Anfield home, Centre 56 provides much-needed play therapy for children who have witnessed or experienced violence, abuse or harassment.

With more than 40 years' experience of working in Liverpool and the surrounding authorities with statutory agencies, voluntary services and other organisations, Centre 56 has a strong reputation, in terms of skills and expertise in the field of vulnerable and challenging families.

Their ethos is that once those who have the most influence over children are supported correctly, in order to manage circumstances and situations, families will flourish and the children will have a greater understanding of their social responsibility to others and themselves.

Positive Futures

Positive Futures North Liverpool is an award-winning, nationally recognised, social enterprise charity, working to improve the life choices of children and young people.

Their vision is to see all young people realise their potential regardless of circumstance; to help young people help themselves and others through programmes of engagement and education, empowerment, enterprise and environment - and all by way of excellence.

Positive Futures helps turn young lives around through a mix of personal development, education, training and mentoring via a range of one-to-one and group based activities.

Their aim is to engage with abled-bodied and disabled young people struggling in mainstream education, at risk of falling into crime and anti-social behavior, poor school attendance, low confidence or simply wanting somewhere to go and something to do.
