NewsLFC Foundation opens latest Red Neighbours community fund to help support local area
LFC Foundation has launched the next round of grants in its Red Neighbours Community Fund, with applications open until October 2, 2026.
Created by LFC Foundation and supported by Liverpool FC, the fund was first launched in 2020 to support and assist local groups or organisations who have great ideas to create a lasting project or initiative in Anfield and the surrounding areas.
The fund follows a commitment from LFC to make a donation to a community grant fund each time a concert or major non-football event is held at Anfield, with the money reinvested directly into the local area.
Grants are prioritised for charities and not-for-profit community organisations delivering activities that align with the Foundation's charitable objectives across its three main pillars of health, learning and employment.
Among the 20 organisations to benefit from the £140,000 so far is Liverpool Community Radio. The grant has helped sustain 19 years of community broadcasting and expand on its monthly training events, giving local people hands-on experience in radio production and presenting, with some going on to continue their work with the station.
Other grants are helping to tackle food insecurity thanks to the work of Christ Church PPC, which is one of the 10 most-deprived parishes in England. The Community Basket CIC will also support families facing food poverty by providing affordable essentials at its community-run food shop in Anfield.
The funding also allows Vauxhall Law and Community Information Centre to provide free, trusted legal advice and advocacy that helps people facing debt, housing and welfare challenges regain stability, dignity and confidence in their lives.
Matt Parish, CEO of LFC Foundation, said: "It's been fantastic to see the impact the last round of grants had on the local area with £140,000 funding a total of 20 organisations, and we are looking forward to being able to give even more back with the latest fund.
"Our Red Neighbours team do fantastic work all year round and this latest round of grants will continue to focus on our ongoing commitment to the local community."
LFC Foundation would like to once again invite local groups or organisations working in the L4, L5 and L6 postcode areas to bid for funding that will help to deliver new projects that help to create lasting impact on our communities.
