Academy Duo Go Back To School

Two Academy youngsters paid a special visit to Four Oaks Primary School earlier this week to help Liverpool Football Club deliver their 'Truth 4 Youth' message.

Matty McGiveron and Craig Roddan dropped by to host a special assembly at the Liverpool school and deliver anti-racism, anti-bullying and positive community messages to pupils in years 3 to 6.

After an enjoyable sing-a-long with community department manager Bill Bygroves got the afternoon off to a lively start, the children were given a Truth 4 Youth workbook to complete.

McGiveron and Roddan were then interviewed by the Four Oaks year 6 councilors which will feature in the school's newsletter to parents.

"The Truth 4 Youth assemblies hit home key messages that Liverpool Football Club endorses to pupils within our city," said LFC's Kickz officer Forbes Duff.

"All of the issues highlighted in the school assemblies are relevant to young people growing up in today's society and hopefully they will carry these messages throughout the school life and into adulthood.

"The support and encouragement given by Matty and Craig to the pupils was fantastic as they encouraged the pupils to take on board the messages and study hard in school."
