Premier League: insurance company NTUC becomes a regional partner of Liverpool FC

The Singapore insurance company NTUC has become a regional partner of Liverpool FC (Premier League) until the end of the 2016-17 season, the club announced on 02/12/2015.

This partnership will be activated in Southeast Asia via NTUC's CSR programme OrangeAid. "Our collaboration with this iconic team is unique because it is one with the primary purpose of helping students from low income families and to let them know they will never have to walk alone as they strive to secure their future," said Marcus Chew vice-president of NTUC. The company launched a $2.5m (€2.3m) programme to fund the 1,000 scholarship students.

Liverpool FC will provide autographed match shirts to NTUC which will be auctioned to to raise funds for the OrangeAid programme. The club's legends will also participate in fundraising events in the coming months in Singapore.
