LFC FoundationJoin John Bishop at LFC Foundation’s Kip on the Kop
LFC fan and award-winning comedian John Bishop has signed up to take part in this year’s Kip on the Kop event at Anfield, to help raise awareness and funds for homelessness across the Liverpool City Region.
The event will take place on Saturday October 12 and the funds raised will go towards supporting LFC Foundation’s Global Works programme, as well as Liverpool Homeless FC.
The Global Works programme provides sport-based employability sessions and mentoring for young people who have experienced homelessness, while Liverpool Homeless FC was founded for people affected by homelessness across the region. It provides footballing opportunities focused on inclusion, fun and helping to move lives forward.
John, who is an ambassador for Liverpool Homeless FC, will be joining fellow LFC fans in swapping his bed for a sleeping bag and taking part in the unique opportunity to spend the night on the Kop.
On taking part in the event, he said: “I’m really looking forward to taking part in the Kip on the Kop this year, I know last year’s event was a huge success and it will be a special night to be involved in to help to raise vital awareness and funds for two very worthy causes.
“Both Liverpool Homeless FC and the LFC Foundation are doing fantastic work across our city and I would encourage as many people as possible to take part and help us to make a real difference to those who need it most.”
Matt Parish, LFC Foundation CEO, added: “It’s fantastic to have John’s support once again and even more so that he’s taking part this year. Last year’s event was a special occasion, and we are hoping it can be even bigger and better this time around. We raised a fantastic amount which has already made a tangible difference and hopefully we can build on that even further this year.”
