Anfield Sports and Community Centre<\/a> are committed to providing sports, educational and creative opportunities for everyone. They actively promote mental and physical well-being to help others gain confidence in their own abilities in a safe, friendly and fun environment.<\/p>\nAt the multi-purpose Sports and Community Centre, they provide clubs and classes, gym and fitness, family support groups, and even a community caf\u00e9. They offer a range of activities for local young people aged between 5 and 25, helping to build their confidence, gain new skills and make friends.<\/p>\n
In March, at the start of lockdown, the Community Centre closed and, together with a local food bank, they repurposed their main hall to build a community food packing and distribution hub supporting crisis food management for vulnerable families in the community.<\/p>\n
Much of Anfield Sports and Community Centre’s income came from the services they have been unable to offer through lockdown. They will be using the grant from Community Business Renewal Fund to help cover fixed costs and loss of income from using their car park for paid parking to support Liverpool Football Club Fixtures. The grant will also support Anfield Sports and Community Centre to operate a Covid-19 secure site with enhanced cleaning measures as well as ensuring the venue is compliant for reduced capacity group activities when they are able to open again.<\/p>\n
