                                                                     12/11-2018

Da Liverbirds Bergen hadde fellestur høsten 2018 mot Fulham hadde leder og nestleder gleden av å treffe ildsjeler fra Liverpool Homeless Football Club. Denne veldedighet organisasjonen hjelper vanskeligstilte i Liverpool. De driver med forebyggende arbeid for mennesker som har kommet litt skjeivt ut i livet. Det gjelder mennesker med rus problemer og på kant med loven. De har organisert over 20 forskjellige fotball lag som spiller kamper mot likesinnede. Dere kan lese litt mer her: https://liverpoolhomelessfootballclub.com eller https://twitter.com/livhomelessfc  . Liverpool Homeless football team ble grunnlagt i 2008 og holdt det gående siden. Jamie Carragher som driver 23 Foundation er en som har støttet opp om veldedighetsprosjektet til Liverpool Homeless FC. På fellestur nå mot Wolves i 12 Mai, så planlegger vi å møte Liverpool Homeless FC og se en kamp de spiller. Dette skjer lørdag 11/5. Alle som er med på turen kan delta. Her skal vi overrekke en sjekk på 5000£ denne dagen.

Some word from Liverpool Homeless FC


It is a pleasure to announce that Liverpool Norwegian supporters club Liverbirds Bergen have donated £5,000 to Liverpool Homeless FC.

We have had a good relationship with the group since they visited the city in November of last year.

We were delighted to welcome them once again to the city this month as they were in attendance for Liverpool’ 2-0 final day win over Wolves. 

During their trip to Merseyside they saw the work that the club do and took part in a penalty shoot-out at the Power League. 

On the day, we were proud to meet member Vivi Sandvåg Eriksen, the first female goalkeeper for Sandviken in Norway. 

LHFC had the pleasure of speaking to Chairman of the Liverbirds, Captain Jørn-Erik Heimseter, he said: “We were reading your website and we were impressed with what you’re doing and supporting children, teenagers and adults in Liverpool. Rune Fjeldsbø was the one who first notice LHFC for LB.

“We had a board meeting and decided that your organisation was the perfect choice for us,”

Jørn-Erik has been following the Reds since the 70’s and it was Kevin Keegan who sparked his love affair with Liverpool after scoring twice for Bill Shankly’s side as they beat Newcastle in the 1974 FA Cup Final.

“Liverbirds Bergen are not just about watching football in the pub and getting drunk but also to make just a small contribution and do some positive things as well for people who have fallen out of society, those who are struggling in school and who suffer with addiction to drugs and alcohol.”

Liverbirds Bergen were founded in 2011 and are a part of a wider Liverbirds supporters club which has 48,000 members from across Norway. Now 50000.

Bergen boast the biggest members club in the country, and we are over the moon by working with them. 

Since their foundation eight years ago, they have donated £30,000 to charity.

They have welcomed a variety of Liverpool legends to their club including Bruce Grobbelaar and John Arne Riise.
