Royal Liver Building 360 organisers orchestrated a major food donation as part of their partnership with Fans Supporting Foodbanks (FSF) to make sure families in Merseyside don’t go hungry this Christmas.
The world-class attraction teamed up with fellow Royal Liver Building tenants Princes Limited to donate hundreds of much-needed food cans to the charitable organisation, which has been supporting the needy and vulnerable by collecting food outside Goodison Park and Anfield at matches since 2016 while having been influential in setting up similar schemes at other clubs across the country.
The RLB360 and Princes Foods donation included items like tuna, baked beans, corned beef, tinned fruit and pulses, orange and blackcurrant cordial plus passata and chopped tomatoes.
In October, it was announced that RLB360 would be partnering with FSF to help the groundbreaking scheme in their powerful fight against hunger.
As part of the alliance RLB360 became a food drop-off donation point for FSF and every booking fee from sales over the weeks leading up to, after and including the busy October half-term were donated to support the pioneering organisation’s efforts.
RLB360 operations manager Chris Devaney said: “We’re really proud to be helping Fans Supporting Foodbanks and supporting the Right to Food, it is a cause our team feel very passionately about and this is a significant donation from Princes which will hopefully mean families across Merseyside won’t go hungry this Christmas.
“Visitors who have supported our attraction have helped to make this happen and I’m pleased to say we’re open on days throughout the Christmas period to provide special guided tours and create lasting
memories for all the family – which will only help our work like this to continue.”
FSF worked throughout the coronavirus pandemic to support those in need, creating a new food supply hub in Anfield to make sure those who were struggling and shielding at home did not go hungry while also focusing on developing items of emergency Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for NHS staff and key workers.
