Support Liverpool FC Parade Victims

My name is Adam, and I run Humans of Liverpool, where I share everyday stories of strength and connection across our city. Today, I’m reaching out with something more personal and urgent. A day meant for joy and celebration turned into something else entirely when a car drove into crowds during Liverpool FC's victory parade.

Like everyone else, I was left shocked and heartbroken. This isn’t the kind of moment any of us ever expect. It’s shaken our city. But it’s also brought out something powerful: our need to stand together.

That's why I’m supporting GoFundMe to launch a fundraiser for those affected. Every donation will go to the victims through the Community Foundations for Merseyside (CFM), a trusted organisation helping local people in times of crisis. They are the charity that distributed funds to the Southport families affected by last summer’s attack.

CFM will work alongside Merseyside Police Family Liaison Officers and other emergency services to ensure support reaches those who need it most. In the first instance, funds will prioritise individuals directly impacted on May 26th—especially those who required hospital or medical treatment, physically or psychologically. The Appeal will also account for the costs involved in distributing the fund so that help can be provided efficiently and responsibly.

Once immediate needs are met, the fund will also support community organisations in Liverpool working to rebuild and care for our collective wellbeing. This could include services offering emotional support, helping coordinate local response, or creating ways for our communities to come together.

This is our chance to show those impacted that Liverpool, and the global community of LFC fans looks after their own—not just in joy, but in pain too. And, to show the world who we are.

If you’ve ever been moved by a story on Humans of Liverpool, I ask you to be part of this one. Whether you give money or simply share this post, your help matters. Together, we can remind each other what Liverpool is really about—coming together when it matters most.

You’ll Never Walk Alone ❤️
