Liverpool Football Therapy is a local charity encouraging adults affected by mental ill health to use football as a recovery tool or as part of ongoing therapy.
We are absolutely delighted to confirm that ex-Liverpool goalkeeper
@ChrisKirkland43
has agreed to become the Patron of Liverpool Football Therapy. I think we're in safe hands here.
Between two legends I bet they can help find a shirt sponsor for Liverpool Football Therapy, our goal is to help as many local people as possible affected by mental ill health. Can you help, promote in any way

Today we pay our respects to Sean Bradley, he was the first person to ever captain an LFT team. He was not just a wonderful player but a fantastic friend to so many, as a for peer support no one better. Sadly he lost his long battle with mental ill health. Huge loss for so many.
Playing regular football cannot only transform lives it can save lives too, it's the reason why we are not a football club and our small-sided football sessions are specifically for those adults affected by mental ill health (diagnosed or not) or affected by poor metal wellbeing.
Congratulations to the winners of The One Knowsley League Cup LFT Blue. Fantastic day for all involved, great football helping so many people overcome their mental illnesses through football.

Sadly we've had to pull the plug (for the time being) on our plans for an internal monthly, fun 5-a-side league for our participants due to lack of funding/sponsorship. We need a sponsor for approximately £200 per month from a local business/organisation to get it going.
Outstanding
