The Night

What is the
Black Tie Bash?

One night, one room, one city. A black tie celebration of twenty years of Liverpool Homeless Football Club, held under the glass of the Palm House in Sefton Park. Three courses, a glass of fizz or non-alcoholic option on arrival, and an exclusive in-conversation set from our patron John Bishop — one of Britain's best-loved comedians and a proper Scouser. Expect the warmth, width and storytelling that made him a Merseyside hero, in an intimate room of guests all celebrating and fundraising for the club.

Why We're Here

Twenty Years of Hope

LHFC uses the power of football to give people a team, a routine and a reason to believe. For twenty years the club has stood alongside people facing homelessness and social exclusion in our city — not with a hand-out, but with a shirt, a squad and a standing invitation to turn up next week.
