Royal Liver Building 360 organises major donation to Fans Supporting Foodbanks

Royal Liver Building 360 has orchestrated a major food donation as part of its partnership with Fans Supporting Foodbanks (FSF) to make sure families on Merseyside don’t go hungry this Christmas.

The city centre attraction teamed up with fellow Royal Liver Building tenants Princes Foods 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.

The RLB360 and Princes donation included items like tuna, baked beans, corned beef, tinned fruit and pulses, orange and blackcurrant cordial, as well as passata and chopped tomatoes.

As part of its alliance with FSF, 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 organisation’s efforts.

Chris Devaney, RLB360 operations manager, says: “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.”

During the Coronavirus pandemic, FSF created 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.
