They spent time with patients and their families on the wards, hearing their stories, posing for photographs and handing out some LFC gifts to mark the festive period, as well as meeting Alder Hey staff. It was Liverpool’s first full squad visit on our wards since 2018.
Gill Kennedy, Engagement and VIP Manager at Alder Hey said:
“Liverpool’s visit is always a very special day at Alder Hey. As part of our Christmas tradition, we welcomed Liverpool’s manager and first team squad who have made some special memories for our children, families and our staff.
“Being in hospital during Christmas can be difficult for our children and their families but to be given the opportunity to meet their football heroes is a dream come true.
“We can’t thank Liverpool enough for their continued support.”
