The LFC Foundation is hosting a range of free activities across the city region to encourage physical activities in children and families during the summer holidays.
The charity hosted an event yesterday which saw former Liverpool players Phil Thompson and Chris Kirkland, joined by Foundation CEO Matt Parish, get involved with the 80 children that attended the free football camp. The event is just one of a number of planned events taking place during the summer holidays.
Ex-Liverpool defender and three-time European Cup winner Phil Thompson told the ECHO about the importance of getting children out and about during the break from school. He said: "Some will either be going on or have been on holiday but some of them might not so it's giving them something else to do. The Big Red Summer is so important for kids.
