The Dan Kay Memorial Trophy football match returns for the third year to raise money for The Dan Kay Foundation.

The Dan Kay Foundation has raised over £50,000 since the death of Liverpool ECHO journalist, Hillsborough campaigner and philanthropist Dan Kay in 2023, funding mental health training, youth initiatives and other charitable organisations.

The money raised has funded a range of initiatives including suicide first aid training and mental health awareness sessions, food for vulnerable families and a range of extracurricular sessions for young people in Liverpool.

Dan worked at the ECHO from 2003-2021 across news and sport and was a universally popular member of the newsroom. He was a driving force within the campaign for justice over Hillsborough both in his personal life and with the ECHO - where he was central to the coverage that stemmed from the disaster, most poignantly of the inquests that led to the ruling the 97 innocent men, women and children who lost their lives as a result of the tragedy were unlawfully killed.

The Dan Kay Memorial Trophy football match takes place on Friday 21st November with a fundraising event afterwards.
