Recently, a group of pupils from Years 5 and 6 visited Anfield Stadium to explore how they can make a difference through social action and sustainability – inspired by The Red Way, Liverpool FC’s sustainability strategy. The motivational event was delivered by LFC Foundation, with children from across the Foundation’s Premier League Primary Stars and Premier League Inspires Programmes taking part.
During the morning, the children learned about key sustainability themes linked to The Red Way, including climate change, gender equality and responsible consumption, and explored how they can take positive action within their schools and communities. They then took part in interactive workshops, where they worked together in teams to design and present their own social action projects aligned with a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of their choice.
Representatives from the club – including Rishi Jain, LFC’s Director of Impact, and former goalkeeper and LFC Foundation Community Ambassador Chris Kirkland – joined the judging panel to choose a winner from a range of inspiring and creative pitches. Although we didn’t win, our children’s ideas of offering surplus food at a cut cost and mental health support were well-received. A big well done to Freya, Tommy, Manisa, Seb, Lyndon, Gabriella, Esme, Victor and Harlow for representing our school so well!
