In line with Red Neighbours mission to create outstanding memories for the young generation, they have once again initiated a special event which was held in Anfield. Its goal was to donate 1,100 free premier league game tickets to 25 local schools in the L4, L5 and L6 areas – 21 primary schools and four high school.
It was reported that more than 100 local students and staff attended the event. The schools were given 11 free tickets each which give access to four Premier League home games.
Natalie Walsh, assistant head of special needs education at Alsop High School, took the activity positively and said “This free ticket giveaway is a fantastic initiative.
“Attending a matchday at Anfield is an unforgettable experience. Seeing their reaction to the crowds and the atmosphere is priceless.â€
Liverpool players, Andy Robertson and Ben Woodburn, were both reported to have excused themselves from their pre-season training to participate in the dramatic draw.
Robertson was quoted as saying, “It’s great to be part of this initiative, which enables young local fans to experience a matchday at Anfield.
“The stadium has an unbelievable atmosphere, so they’ll have an amazing experience no matter which game they attend.â€
The Red Neighbours mission also targets other areas such as “food poverty and education; creating a physically active community; and support for the elderly community.â€
