CITY of Liverpool FC (COLFC) sent a message of solidarity and support to essential workers following its annual general meeting last week.
The club gave its full support to the conditions laid down by the National Education Union and the RMT union that a return to work should only happen when it is safe to do so.
COLFC is continuing its own activities in support of the community. The Purple Pantry fund has raised almost £3,400 so far as donations from members, supporters and sponsors continue to fund weekly food parcel deliveries.
