Our partnership with Liverpool FC
When girls play on, they succeed
We’re joining forces with Liverpool FC to empower girls to stay in sport.
Play On: Helping Girls Stay in Sport
When girls stay in sport, they learn soft skills that last a lifetime. Yet many drop out too soon, missing out on these life crucial lessons. That’s why Standard Chartered has partnered with Liverpool FC for Play On – an initiative to keep girls in the game and set them up for success, on and off the pitch.
Why girls who play win in life
Whether it’s confidence, resilience, teamwork or leadership – sport equips girls with the life skills they carry far beyond the pitch. Join three Liverpool FC Women players, and the first female LFC Ambassador as they share their success stories.
Mentorship Matters: The key to playing on
Mentorship is crucial for keeping girls in sport. From fostering confidence to nurturing aspirations, positive role models inspire and provide the guidance girls need to stay motivated and overcome challenges. Learn more about how mentorship can make a lasting impact on girls’ sport participation and their personal growth journey.
