Fans Supporting Foodbanks

[Anubis]

Just a quick one for matchgoing Reds tomorrow.

 

There is likely to be an increase in demand at Foodbanks in Liverpool this Christmas due to the roll out of Universal Credit just before Christmas, and the four/five week delay in payment. Remember that as well as the unemployed there are significant numbers of families and individuals in low paid work and on zero hour contracts, who rely on benefit to top up their income. 

 

If if you are going to the game and can spare the price of a own brand value tin of food, packet of rice, or packet of pasta, then please take something along. If you can spare a few pence more they are particularly short of packets of instant mash, long life milk, and long life fruit juice.

 

Collection points are at Homebaked on the corner of Donaldson St, by the new club shop, and in the fan zone opposite the Anfield Rd end. Also, look out for Everton fan Speedo Mick who is collecting for local charities.

Well posted mate. An old classmate of mine was working with these guys but sadly passed away in a house fire a few months back. His twin brother has stated how much he was enjoying working with those in need as it was helping him get his own life on an even keel.

 

They're brilliant, and rest in peace Danny Woolfall.

Sorry to hear about your classmate. It’s intrresting what you said about him getting back on an even keel because it echoes what the guy from Kent says in the Robbo video.

I hadn't seen him for well over 20 years mate, he was a fucking pest when he was a kid, and I knew his brother better, but it was heartwarming to see how much he'd changed, and sickening to see him go at that age (43) and in such a horrible way.

 

I can't speak highly enough of people who do this kind of thing, humbling and holds a mirror up to how little good I do in life! Just a shame they're needed in this age of austerity!

Don't you just love how they've invented a name for the rich to starve the poor?

Good luck to all involved & Speedo Mick.

 

Just to mention for any locals visiting Liverpool City Centre that the Homebaked community bakery is also providing pies for the Liverpool Homeless Football Team to sell at a stall at the Liverpool Xmas Market on the plateau outside St Georges Hall. Including one called ' Shankly Pie '( Beef, Bacon & veg. allegedly ). Big article in Echo today.
