Torus, the North-West’s leading affordable housing provider and developer, can confirm it has now sold Liverpool FC's (LFC) former training ground, Melwood, back to the Club to enable LFC Women to have their own Liverpool base.

From the outset, Torus has been keen to respect the history of Melwood and its place within the local community. It has therefore worked closely with LFC regarding the preservation of its sporting legacy.

Chris Bowen, Managing Director at Torus Developments, said:

“All our developments are designed to help transform places and inspire growth. We believe Liverpool FC is best placed to use this location to support the growth of women’s football and to maximise the benefit of the site to the wider community.”
