An independent report has found that Liverpool's official charity, the LFC Foundation, has directly delivered £8million into the local economy and contributed nearly £25m in health benefits.
The Foundation, which is now in its 20th year, delivered the findings from its social impact report last week, with the charity responsible for over 348,000 hours of programme activity which has helped contribute to an overall social value of £80m.
The launch of only the second-ever social impact report, which was conducted by research and technology company Substance, also revealed that over 83,000 people have been supported in the last 12 months by the Foundation's work, some of them in the most deprived areas of the UK.
