Anfield Abseil
Simon Krol took on the Anfield Abseil in support of Woodlands Hospice, alongside Liverpool legend Sammy Lee.
Demonstrating plenty of courage and a head for heights, Simon successfully completed the challenge while raising over £1,000 for Woodlands Hospice, helping to support the incredible care and services the charity provides to patients and families across the region.
Adding to the occasion, Simon was suited and booted in his red tuxedo ahead of attending the LFC Foundation Gala Ball later that evening at Liverpool Cathedral, making it a memorable day in support of two fantastic causes.
Woodlands Hospice
Woodlands Hospice is dedicated to providing hospice care and support for communities across North Liverpool, South Sefton and Kirkby in Knowsley. They need to raise at least £4,000 each day to keep their services running, to ensure they are there for their patients and their families at a time when they need them the most.
They provide Specialist Palliative Care to people with cancer and other life limiting illnesses with complex needs, taking into account their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.
LFC Foundation Gala
The LFC Foundation Gala Ball was a fantastic evening of celebration, bringing together supporters, partners, and members of the wider community to raise vital funds for programmes tackling social inequality through health, learning, and employability initiatives.
The work delivered through the foundation continues to make a significant impact, supporting more than 145,000 people each year, with over 20 per cent of participants coming from some of the most deprived communities across the UK. The event highlighted the importance of creating opportunities, improving wellbeing, and supporting young people and families through meaningful community engagement and long-term development programmes.
