The shortlist will be announced on the 29th of September. Shortlisted organisations will be invited to present at the 16th EFDN Conference in Breda, The Netherlands (9-10 November). EFDN members will decide on the winner by voting.

Community Hubs – We are in your community

Community hubs allow the LFC Foundation to deliver a hyper local offer for the most deprived communities in Liverpool. Working with local community facilities we can add value to their provision by supporting with physical improvements to the space but also delivering our programmes from the centres. During the pandemic the Foundation has provided over 800 essential food parcels to those in need and engaged with 1000 people across the community hub sites. 

The main objectives of the project are:

Main project objectives:  

• Engage with underserved communities, providing opportunities for them to be healthier and more physically active  
• Increase the number of sessions the LFC Foundation delivered from community hub sites 
• Increase the mental and physical wellbeing of the young people and families we work with
