A charity that uses sport to engage with the most vulnerable has turned its attention to supporting families this Christmas.
Liverpool Homeless Football Club is a club whose work supporting Merseyside's most vulnerable recently drew recognition at the ECHO awards. Founded by John Finnigan in 2007, the charity uses football as a means of bringing people together to reduce isolation, offer emotional support and giving them new opportunities.
The ECHO spent a day with the club in June this year and witnessed first hand how they brought structure, routine and guidance to the lives of the people who used the club. The people had all found themselves in difficult situations due to low income, homelessness or unemployment.
