e organisation also backs educational projects like Youth Works. Can you tell us more about this initiative and how it’s helping young people? LEGCT has provided funding for several projects with broader objectives: e NEBULA so ware system was developed with a grant from LEGCT to enable Liverpool schools to proactively address potentially problematic pupil attendance. is allowed schools to identify patterns of absenteeism and, where appropriate interact with pupils’ parents and guardians. e system was used to successfully reduce absenteeism in Liverpool. e Liverpool Literacy Cycle project received start-up funding from LEGCT and continues to be supported.

Schools and Police continue to report increased levels of mental health issues and problematic behaviour. A local initiative was required to address the issue and the LFC Foundation agreed to provide facilities for and management of the project if funding could be secured. LEGCT provided signi cant seed-funding which helped prompt nancial support from the Premier League and
