Liverpool Football Club would like to remind fans of our mental health toolkit, which offers support to fans suffering the ongoing effects of the events surrounding the Champions League final, following the publication of UEFA’s Independent Panel Report.

The Club has pledged financial assistance for those organisations already in high demand, and is encouraging fans to seek support if they feel they need it at this time.

Working with the LFC Foundation, who collaborate with professional mental health services on a daily basis, the Club has complied a list of organisations supporters can turn to right now.

Liverpool Football Club encourages fans to seek support and advice if needed. There are a number of specialist services available both locally and nationally for fans of all ages.
