And when it comes to sustainability, community engagement, ED&I, people generally, I really do believe, expect us to come in on these topics.
in a really authentic way and sometimes be the first voice to do that.
And actually, I really like it when we see narrative online where people are going, oh, why haven't the cloak come in on this topic yet?
Or why haven't we celebrated ex-religious holiday yet?
It doesn't mean that we've forgotten about it.
It just means our time is maybe slightly out of kilter.
But I love that because that says to me, one, it's really important for people.
And two, people expect us to show up in those moments and it means that we're doing something right.
so focusing a bit more on the last 12 months what have been the real focuses for you guys and for the redway yeah so with the redway as you've said we launched our recent report really proud of it that's sort of almost four maybe five years now of uh really authentic transparent reporting that's really important to us to actually go out there and say this is how we're progressing these are the ups these are downs there may be some things in there which aren't tracking the way we want them to be but
that honesty is key because that honesty has allowed us to have really credible conversations with people like yourself, supporters, stakeholders, people who maybe even might have the solution to our problems and go, this is what we really want to tackle.
Into answer your question about the sort of past 12 months, big focus for us has been oceans.
This is the new one, obviously, where we are today, the water's literally right outside.
And it's always been a goal of mine to see the club do more in that space because obviously Liverpool, it's a port city, it's a maritime history.
The story tells itself.
So we've done a lot more work on that around sort of investments in manga restorations.
We've done some campaigning.
So last year we had, you'll remember, we had the campaign with Mo and Dom Sabosla and a few of the women's players out on the Albert dock on a boat.
And I think some people thought it was like Mo's contract announcement, which it wasn't.
And sadly, I'm not involved in those types of things.
But actually, it was really nice because that was a piece where we took the players onto the boat with some foundation participants and they learned about how the marine ecosystem has similarities to the football ecosystem.
