LFC Foundation step up signposting help for fans traumatised by Paris

Signposting from the LFC Foundation for those struggling after the Champions League final chaos has stepped up ahead of the Liverpool's first game at Anfield next week.

Liverpool are set to take on Crystal Palace at Anfield on Monday, August 15. The match will be the first time many fans have been inside a stadium since the dangerous and upsetting scenes that unfolded at the Stade de France, May 28, that left many injured, upset and scarred.

The independent charity does a number of things to help people in the community but it is ramping up its signposting of specialist services that people who were directly and indirectly affected by the scenes before, during and after the match can access. Speaking to the ECHO, LFC Foundation CEO Matt Parish said they have increased the visibility of available services heading into the new season as they're aware it may bring back memories from that night.
